'Why Lucretius should have written a major poem propounding Epicurean doctrine in the face of Epicurus' well attested hostility to poetry has for generations been a rich source of books, articles and undergraduate essays. Much sensitive work on the DRN (e.g. pasoli, Snyder, David West) has shown that this is not the paradox it might seem, that Lucretius the poet / philosopher is an unreal dichotomy, and that all or nearly all the poetic devices in the poem are carefully controlled and directed at persuasive Epicurean evangelism. This book examines Lucretius' use of myth, and aims to show that myth is as much an instrument of the poem's argument as, say, similes and repetitions, and it not to be regarded as an 'anti-Lucrèce' element, diverting the poet from his main didactic purpose. (.) G.'s main argument is that Lucretius was facing a long tradition of the poetic use of myth, and also of much criticism of myth: in particular, philosophical poetry, like that of Parmenides and Empedocles, had made good use of mythological motifs, but his master Epicurus had uncompromisingly condemned myth as opposed to rational thought.

ISBN10: 0521451353, ISBN13: 9780521451352, [publisher: Cambridge University Press] Hardcover Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The employment of mythological language and imagery by an Epicurean poet - a professed adherent of a system which was not only materialist, but overtly hostile to myth and poetry - is highly paradoxical. This apparent contradiction has often been ascribed to a conflict in the poet's personality, between reason and intellect, or to a desire to enliven his philosophical material with attractive mythological digressions. This book attempts to provide a more positive assessment of Lucretius' aims and methodology, by considering the poet's attitude to myth, and the role which it plays in the De Rerum Natura, against the background of earlier and contemporary views. Dr Gale suggests that Lucretius was not only aware of the tension between his two roles as philosopher and poet, but attempted to resolve it by developing his own, Epicurean poetic, together with a bold and innovative theory of the origins and meaning of myth. This book will be of interest to all classical scholars but especially to those concerned with Lucretius and with ancient philosophy. [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: 1994] ...
