In keeping with this is what they relate of that shepherd who set fire to the famous temple of Diana, by repute one of the seven wonders of the world, and burned it with the sole object of making his name live in after ages; and, though it was forbidden to name him, or mention his name by word of mouth or in writing, lest the object of his ambition should be attained, nevertheless it became known that he was called Erostratus.
También viene con esto lo que cuentan de aquel pastor que puso fuego y abrasó el templo famoso de Diana, contado por una de las siete maravillas del mundo, sólo porque quedase vivo su nombre en los siglos venideros; y, aunque se mandó que nadie le nombrase, ni hiciese por palabra o por escrito mención de su nombre, porque no consiguiese el fin de su deseo, todavía se supo que se llamaba Eróstrato.
