Dinocrates of Rhodes (also Deinocrates, Dimocrates, Cheirocrates and Stasicrates; , late 4th century BC) was a Greek architect and technical adviser to Alexander the Great. He is remembered for his plan of Alexandria, the monumental funeral pyre for Hephaestion, and the reconstruction of the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. Ancient sources and modern historians, including Will Durant in The Story of Civilization, emphasize his role in shaping the architectural vision of Alexander’s empire.
