In it David Sedley explores Lucretius' complex relationship with Greek culture, in particular with Empedocles, whose poetry was the model for his own, with Epicurus, the source of his philosophical inspiration, and with the Greek language itself. He includes a detailed reconstruction of Epicurus' great treatise On Nature, and seeks to show how Lucretius worked with this as his sole philosophical source, but gradually emancipated himself from its structure, transforming its raw contents into something radically new. By pursuing these themes, the book uncovers many unrecognised aspects of Lucretius' methods and achievements as a poetic craftsman.Lucretius & the Transformation of Greek WisdomDidactic poetry, LatinHistory and criticismPhilosophy, Ancient, in literatureLatin poetryGreek influencesDidactic poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Philosophy, Ancient, in literature.Latin poetryGreek influences.187Sedley D.
