Menelaus was a local ruler of Pelagonia, honoured as euergetes benefactor of Athens in 363 BC, for helping Athenians in the war against Amphipolis and the league of Chalcidice. He probably fled to Athens and received Athenian citizenship and is the Menelaus son of Arrhabaeus honoured as Athenian proxenos in Troy (~ 359 BC) and the Menelaus commander of cavalry against Philip mentioned by Demosthenes.
