    Quote from Kalosyni

    Notable Epicureans, including Epicurus, Metrodorus,

    Can we add Apollodorus to this list? I cannot figure out how.

    Thanks Bryan. In terms of setting up subforums, an administrator (Probably me or Kalosyni) will need to do that.

    Let us know who else might be good to add and we'll do it, or at the very least set up a single thread for each one under a "general" section.

    We'll get that done.

    Kalosyni thanks for adding that. Bryan, those names are supposed to be in roughly date order, with Epicurus at the top and the newest names at the bottom. Where would you locate Apollodorus? Let us know and we will reorder.

    Thank you, moving Apollodorus just one down -- under Dionysus of Lamptrai -- should work for now.

    Also Leontion, an original member, should be closer to the top of the list, around Polyaenus, and just after her should be Colotes.

    Moved the thread from forum Welcome to Our New Members! to forum Community Standards and Rules.
