Apollodorus of Damascus
Hi, could you please stop removing the qualification that he was a Greek from the article? Apollodorus is a Greek name through and through by the way. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 20:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, please note that when I am changing the origin to Syrian, is only to set the record straight. In Syria we are proud of our heritage (Canaanite, Egyptian, Aramaic, Macedoninian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Arab, Armenian, Crusaders (westerner), Turks, Caucasian....etc). As for the name, I agree is Greek (or more precisely Hellenic) but we are talking about the origin of the person and not the name. He is from Damascus and believed to be from Nabatian origin and the Greek language was his second language and his name in Nabatian was Aboudate. One last word, as you know the name doesn't mean anything, when we call you Greek it is completely false as you well know we should call you Hellenic. Believe me that I love the Greek history, mythology and culture and my action is not directed against Greek. I am awaiting for your answer before changing it again. Ciao
