Did you know
that fact about Ephesus?
But did you know about the place outside
of Ephesus called garbage heap (trash
heap)? According to the historical
records unwanted babies - mostly girls
-due to the belief to the Artemis
goddess (Artemis was the goddess of
fertility both giving blessings to woman
willing to have a child and also
protecting from the child birth, as
every third woman was likely to die
during the child birth) were left in the
isolated area to die. The most
healthiest of them were picked up by the
slave traders and used to be slaves or
prostitutes.
