Glass Art inside the Empire State Building: Temple of Diana.
Dominating the vast and somber interior of the temple bearing her name was this huge statue of Diana, goddess of nature and of women in childbirth. To this famous shrine were attracted more travellers than any other building in ancient history. It was here that Paul the Apostle challenged pagan worship and enraged the crowd. Build about 350 B.C. at Ephesus, this magnificent temple was despoiled by Nero in 67 A.D. and destroyed by barbarian Goths in the year 260 A.D.
