Lucretius

by LovelyMay — Lucretius opens the door to a striking contrast between ancient ritual and modern thought, shedding light on the emotional resonance that classical religions might have carried for their adherents.

This absence of personal religious reflection makes Lucretius’ intervention all the more significant. In De Rerum Natura, he…

Together they trade tales—not of sheep or work—but of fortunes hidden in the earth, of magic, curses, and long-forgotten men who once brushed shoulders with the supernatural. These stories, while half-believed, offer more than entertainment; they serve as emotional…
