“τῆς αὐτῆς ἰδέας καὶ Μελάνθιος ἦν ὁ τῆς τραγῳδίας ποιητής: ἔγραψε δὲ καὶ ἐλεγεῖα. κωμῳδοῦσι δ᾽ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὀψοφαγίᾳ Λεύκων ἐν φράτερσιν, Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Εἰρήνῃ, Φερεκράτης ἐν Πετάλῃ.” Ath. 8. 343 c “Γοργίου τοῦ ῥήτορος ἀναγνόντος ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ λόγον Περὶ Ὁμονοίας ὁ Μελάνθιος ‘τοῖς Ἕλλησιν οὗτος’ ἔφη ‘συμβουλεύει περὶ ὁμονοίας, ὃς αὑτὸν καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὴν θεράπαιναν ἰδίᾳ τρεῖς ὄντας ὁμονοεῖν οὐ πέπεικεν.’ ἦν γὰρ ὡς ἔοικέ τις ἔρως τοῦ Γοργίου καὶ ζηλοτυπία τῆς γυναικὸς πρὸς τὸ θεραπαινίδιον.” Plut. Coni. Praec. 43
