On Melissus, Xenophanes, and Gorgias

On Melissus, Xenophanes, and Gorgias (; ) is a short work falsely attributed to Aristotle. The work was likely written during the 1st century CE or later by a member of the peripatetic school.Guthrie (1962:367).

Modern Criticism

Jaap Mansfeld argues that the work's style of argumentation may have been influenced by the Pyrrhonist modes of Agrippa the Skeptic.Jaap Mansfeld DE MELISSO XENOPHANE GORGIA: Pyrrhonizing Aristotelianism Rheinisches Museum für Philologie Neue Folge, 131. Bd., H. 3/4 (1988), pp. 239-276 http://www.rhm.uni-koeln.de/131/Mansfeld.pdf
