Gaius Maecenas Melissus (/məˈlɪsəs/; fl. 1st century AD) was one of the freedmen of Gaius Maecenas, the noted Roman Augustan patron of the arts. His primary importance for Latin literature is that he invented his own form of comedy known as the "fabula trabeata" (tales of the knights). The genre did not prove particularly popular outside of his own work, but Melissus also put together compilations of jokes. Suetonius suggests that there were one hundred and fifty such compilations. Contemporary scholarship also suggests that he may have been quoted in Pliny the Elder's Natural History and may have been a grammarian as well, although none of his original works have survived.

  • Gai Mecenàs Melís (llatí: Gaius Maecenas Melissus) fou un romà nascut a Spoleto que d'infant fou abandonat i acollit per Mecenàs com a esclau, a qui el va portar la persona que el va trobar. La seva mare el va reconèixer més tard, però el noi no va voler abandonar a Mecenàs, que el va manumitir. Després va obtenir el favor d'August que li va encarregar d'arranjar la biblioteca del Pòrtic d'Octavià. Al final de la seva vida va compondre una col·lecció de bromes. També va escriure obres en forma de novel·la, que va titular Trabeatae, segons Suetoni. El seu nom complet el dona Plini el Vell, i no és plenament coincident amb altres com Suetoni, que l'anomena Leneu (Lenaeus) o Cilni Melís (Cilnius Melissus). (ca)
