DINOCRATES

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 277 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DINOCRATES , a
great
  and
original
 
Greek
  architect, of the age of Alexander the
Great
 . He tried to captivate the ambitious
fancy
  of that king with a
design
  for carving
Mount
  Athos into a gigantic seated statue. This plan was not carried out, but Dino-crates designed for Alexander the plan of the new city of
Alexandria
 , and constructed the vast funeral pyre of Hephaestion.
Alexandria
  was, like Peiraeus and Rhodes (see
HIPPODAMUS
 ), built on a
regular
  plan; the streets of most earlier towns being narrow and confused.
