De Melisso Xenophane Gorgia

Spurious Authorship traditionally doubted — transmitted in the Aristotelian corpus but widely judged not to be by Aristotle.

Περὶ Μελίσσου Ξενοφάνους Γοργίου

A short spurious work on the Eleatic philosophers Melissus and Xenophanes, and Gorgias.

This edition presents the original Greek (Bekker (Berlin, 1831)) side by side with an English translation (T. Loveday and E. S. Forster) — with click-to-parse morphology, dictionary entries, and exact Bekker citation. 6 chapters.
