Info: In the heart of Greektown is the Alexander the Great Parkette, complete with a fountain, benches, a large stone dais, and a semi-circle of doric columns. Within these columns is a bust of Alexander of Macedon.
Clad in elaborately decorated armour and with tousled locks aflow, Alexander casts his protective gaze over this little corner of the city.
This bronze bust was completed by Dion Zachariou in 1990 and donated to the city by the Pan-Macedonian Association of Ontario and the Greek Community of Metropolitan Toronto. The parkette was dedicated in 1994.
Location - northeast corner Logan and Danforth Avenues.

Arno Breker (1900-1991) was a German sculptor supported by many Nazi leaders, especially Adolf Hitler, but he was far from being a Nazi himself, first because he was too much influenced by foreign cultures, notably French and Greek, secondly because the fate of the Jews in Germany worried him a lot. In 1937 he was married with Greek model Demetra Messala, who used to pose for Picasso and Maillol.
He did a lot scupltures from ancient Greek heroes, dedicated to his Greek wife. Arno's last major work was a monumental sculpture of Alexander the Great with Eagle of Zeus. This sculpture is located in Ludwig Museum in Köln, Germany. His last wish was this statue to be a located in Greece.
