On Melissus, Xenophanes, and Gorgias (Template:Lang-grc-gre; Template:Lang-la) 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] however, its style of argumentation and its conclusions are distinctly Pyrrhonist rather than Aristotelian.
