Social Sciences - History / Intellectual History | | English term or phrase: Herostratean complex | In the Hellenistic world there was a scramble for place, power, riches --- and (a human goal sociologists and political scientists often underestimate) public attention. To do the unusual, to go to the extreme, to be original, was one way of making your mark. There is, for instance, the young man who set fire to the temple of Diana in Ephesus in order that his name might go down in history --- as indeed it has. There are psychologists who call an inordinate desire for fame a "Herostratean complex."
