Melito of Sardis
Post-Apostolic Church
Melito was an overseer in Sardis
in Asia Minor and wrote around AD 165.
It is highly likely that he knew Polycarp. Melito was martyred around AD 177.
Like his contemporary Christian writers, Justin,
Athenagoras, and Theophilus, he wrote apologies, which are written defenses of
Christianity. Melito wrote an
apology to Marcus Aurelius.
About
Melito, Pre-Nicene Christians wrote,
Who is ignorant
of the books of Irenaeus and Melito, and the rest, which declare Christ to be
God and man? (Caius, quoted by
Eusebius. AD 215. ANF, vol 5, page 601.)
