Melampus

Melampus, Author

Three works have survived under the name "Melampus." (1) Peri Palmon Mantike, an extended treatise on divination by twitches (palomancy), existing in a number of versions; (2) Peri Elaion tou somatos, a short work on divination by moles (translation http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/astdiv/melampus.html); and (3) An astrological lunarium. The twitch text begins with a dedication to a king Ptolemy, probably Ptolemy Philadelphus, but also probably spurious.
