Ephesus shared the fate of the other Ionian cities after the defeat of the revolt against Persia. It joined the Delian Confederation under Athens but sided with Sparta midway during the Peloponnesian War. The city was most famous in ancient times for its sanctuary of the Ephesian Artemis. According to legend, the temple burned down on the night of the birth of Alexander the Great, into whose control the city passed in 334 B.C.
