| Front | También viene con esto lo que cuentan de aquel pastor que puso fuego y abrasó el templo famoso de Diana, contado por una de las siete maravillas del mundo, sólo porque quedase vivo su nombre en los siglos venideros; y, aunque se mandó que nadie le nombrase, ni hiciese por palabra o por escrito mención de su nombre, porque no consiguiese el fin de su deseo, todavía se supo que se llamaba Eróstrato. |
