Titus Lucretius Carus (ca 99-55 BC) is known primarily as the Roman author of the long didactic poem "De Rerum Natura" ("On the Nature of Things"). In it, he set out to explicate the universe, embracing and refuting ideas of the Greek philosophers. This Latin text features an introduction to Lucretius' life and work.
