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.
