Sostratus of Cnidus
Sostratus of Alexandria, Egypt. This claim is disputed.[1]
Strabo writes that the lighthouse was dedicated and presumably funded by Sostratus, a friend of Egypt's ruler, Ptolemy. Pliny says that Sostratus was the architect and that Ptolemy graciously allowed him to "sign" the monument.[2]
