Herostratus
Herostratus was a 4th-century BC Greek arsonist, who sought notoriety by destroying the second Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. His acts prompted the creation of a damnatio memoriae law forbidding anyone to mention his name, orally or in writing. The law was ultimately ineffective, as evidenced by mentions of his existence in modern works and parlance. Thus, Herostratus has become a eponym for someone who commits a criminal act in order to become famous.
