Chersiphron ( ; Greek: Χερσίφρων ; fl.
 6th century BC), an architect of Knossos in ancient Crete, was the builder of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, on the Ionian coast.
 The original temple was destroyed in the 7th century BC, and about 550 BC Chersiphron and his son Metagenes began a new temple, the "Artemision", which became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in each of its three manifestations.
 It was burned by Herostratus in July 356 BC and rebuilt again.
Herostratus (Ancient Greek: Ἡρόστρατος ) — or Erostratus — was a 4th-century BC Greek arsonist, who sought notoriety by destroying the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
 His acts prompted the creation of a "damnatio memoriae" law, forbidding anyone to mention his name.
 Nevertheless, his name has become a metonym for someone who commits a criminal act in order to become noted.
