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, the affected city refused an offer of funding from Alexander the Great, because of his divinity. Plutarch notes that this event happened the same (*) day as Alexander’s birth in 356 BC, and so a goddess was too preoccupied to stop this event. A damnatio memoriae (dam-NAH-tee-oh meh-MOE-ree-”eye”) was placed on this event’s perpetrator, the peasant Herostratus, who became an eponym for fame sought at any cost. For 10 points, name this act of arson that destroyed one of the Seven Wonders of the World. ■END■
