Deinokratēs (English spelling)
A Greek architect from the 4th century BCE. He is thought to have been from Rhodes or Macedonia. He worked under Alexander the Great and was responsible for planning the Egyptian seaport city of Alexandria, and written descriptions remain of his grand scheme, including city walls, streets, buildings, and canals. He is also said to have designed the Second Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Many other designs are also written about that are said to be his, but no remains remain. He is said to have devised a fantastic plan to build a gigantic bust of Alexander the Great on Mount Athos as its base.
