On the Nature of Things

More about the book

Exploring Epicurean philosophy, this epic poem and philosophical essay delves into the human role within a chance-driven universe. Composed in six books using dactylic hexameter, it notably omits the traditional Roman gods, instead invoking Venus as a symbol of sexual and reproductive power. Lucretius aims to enlighten Romans about a worldview that emphasizes natural phenomena over divine intervention, offering a profound reflection on existence and the nature of reality.
