Melito of Sardis
Peri tou pascha (On Pascha), and various fragments, especially an Apology (Defense) dedicated to Antoninus Caesar. My highest opinion of him is that Hippolytus of Rome quoted/cited Melito for explaining the dyophysis or two natures of Christ. However this saint held the Quartodeciman theory. His feast day is April 1. His most famous work is a homily on the Passover, which is a liturgical poem that serves as an early example of Christian preaching on the Paschal celebration. In it, he contrasts the divine and human natures of Christ and highlights the significance of the Paschal Mystery (Sacrament).
