On Melissus, Xenophanes, and Gorgias explained

On Melissus, Xenophanes, and Gorgias (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Περὶ Μελίσσου, Ξενοφάνους καὶ Γοργίου; Latin: De Melisso, Xenophane, Gorgia) 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.[1]

Modern Criticism

Jaap Mansfeld argures that the work's style of argumentation may have been influenced by the Pyrrhonist modes of Agrippa the Skeptic.[2]
