Question

Critics believe that the last judgment meted out in The House of Fame is for this historical event, and that Chaucer incorrectly said that it happened in Athens. In her earliest credited role, Helen Mirren advertises orange rubber gloves in a 1967 Don Levy film titled in reference to this event. A few decades after this event, (-5[1])the affected city refused (-5[1])an offer of funding from Alexander the Great, because of his divinity. (15[3]-5[2])Plutarch notes that this event happened the (-5[1])same (*) day as Alexander’s birth in (10[1])356 (10[1])BC, (10[1])and so a goddess was too preoccupied (10[1])to stop this event. A damnatio memoriae (10[1])(dam-NAH-tee-oh meh-MOE-ree-”eye”) was placed (10[1])on this (10[1])event’s perpetrator, (-5[1])the (10[3])peasant (10[1])Herostratus, who became (-5[1])an (0[1])eponym for fame sought at any cost. For 10 points, name this act of (10[1])arson that (10[1])destroyed one of (-5[1])the (10[1])Seven Wonders (-5[1])of (10[2])the (10[3]0[4])World. ■END■

ANSWER: burning of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus [accept equivalents for burning, like destruction and accept Temple of Diana in place of Temple of Artemis; accept Herostratus burning the Temple of Artemis] (The Don Levy film is titled Herostratus; Chaucer refers to the burning of a temple of Isis in Athens.)
