We've never as a people been free of Herostratus.
learning that the tallest tree in the world has to have its location kept secret because of all the people who were going there and fucking it up has radicalised me in a way I did not expect

'If you don't start using this Herostratus quote, it's because you're the Herostratus of Herostratus quotation.'

I like this solution. Damnatio memoriae, in the strict sense, did not work even in ancient times, as shown by the example of Herostratus: he was condemned to damnatio memoriae, but we still know his name today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herostr...

I had a joke about Herostratus but no one's ever heard of him
I had a joke about Gyges but it didn’t ring true.
I had a joke about the Ship of Theseus but it's just not the same anymore

Herostratus was an enormous experience. Love a corny AF musical. The Innocents is a favorite. The Proud and the Profane 😱 the misogyny, plowed through it thanks to Thelma Ritter. Favorite perfs: Ann-Margret, Michael Gotherd, Deborah Kerr, Thelma Ritter #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky

Herostratus wished to be remembered forever. But having no talent nor vision, he settled on burning down the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.
Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

OTD 356BCE Herostratus,a known arsonist,set fire to the Temple of Artemis,a Wonder of the Ancient World.Tradition says he did it on the day Alexander the Great was born (figures!) Tortured on the rack,Herostratus said he burned the temple to immortalize his name.Executed,his name was 🚫. Didn't work.

#OnThisDay - 21 July - in 356 BC the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was deliberately burned. The arsonist was Herostratus, who hoped to immortalise his name by the act (Valerius Maximus, 8.14ext.5). #History 🏺

leading deradicalization experts urge me every day to stop claiming herostratus had "tboy swag" but i'm waiting for them to whine a little when they beg bc i'm not hard yet
This goes all the way back to Columbine tbh, they said and did Nazi shit but like... that was just one part of it. They even described themselves as nihilists who just wanted to kill people to get famous.

By an accident the tree in its setting just happened to be beautiful, so someone wanted to destroy it.

It's "Herostratus" syndrome.

Ha! The inverse of Herostratus? One is a man who is meant to be forgotten but people can’t resist talking about him, and the other is a man people have forgotten but are told to keep remembering!

"But the iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetuity. Who can but pity the founder of the pyramids? Herostratus lives that burnt the temple of Diana, he is almost lost that built it"

There's always the Herostratus solution
people are so fucking weird about graves and headstones. they really think everything should last forever. these people all had names, just because you don't know them doesn't mean they weren't real people with lives. one day no one will know your name either and you better make peace with that
