Abandoned: Ephesus, City of Artemis



When viewed from the ancient streets of Ephesus, a history forgotten and rediscovered. A folio from the Abandoned Series, published by Albumen Publishing.

What historical context can be given to the West’s ascendancy: a manifest destiny unfolding, or rather a painful and contested peeling away of cultural norms that emerged from centuries of barbaric isolation? Wandering around the ancient stones of Ephesus, a city of Asia Minor, an Eastern city that was one of many laying at the roots of Greco-Roman civilisation.
