** Don't be so sure. This troper certainly didn't know who destroyed the Temple of Artemis until reading this article. Most average people won't know either. But just ask them who took the Roman republic and turned it into an empire and whos name now means "Emperor" because of it.
*** Okay, so most average people won't know this either, since the average person is TooDumbToLive. But a higher percentage of relatively educated people will know, compared with identifying that guy who did the thing with the burning down of the temple.

** Applicable to a number of ex-members of British post-punk group The Fall, albeit less due to conscious whitewashing than "losing count": The Fall have, since their formation in 1976, gone through over ''fifty members'', most for very short stints. The most notable of these mysteries was their first drummer, "Dave", a man so briefly tenured - and disliked by his band-mates - that no-one is even sure of his real name (it may have been Steven).
