Ephesus was the greatest Temple City in Asia Minor. It was dedicated to the Great Goddess Artemis Diana. This Temple was the last of the GreatGoddess Temples to remain open and was the site of Goddess worship well into the christian era. When the Temple was in use, it was brightly painted and inlaid with stone. Most ancient Temples and statues that we see as pristine white, were brightly colored and vibrant. The colors would have similar to those found in Egyptian art. Statues were usually painted to resemble giant lifelike beings.
