Lucretius
Description:
This course will be devoted Lucretius De rerum natura, the great didactic epic of Epicureanism. We will examine the philosophical doctrines that Lucretius espoused, the poetic and literary qualities of his poem, his influence on successors, and the way he manipulated the Latin language and the dactylic hexameter to serve his ends.
