Description
The city of Ephesus (or Ephesos in Greek) still exists today, and it is known by the Turks as Efes. Its ruins are a popular tourist attraction despite the fact that the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was destroyed around 400 CE, about when the Ancient Olympic Games also stopped being held.
Ephesus’ most decorated ancient Olympian is Diogenes. Not to be confused with the jar-occupying Cynic philosopher that lived several centuries earlier, he won five consecutive titles in the trumpeter’s competition between 59 and 85 CE.
