De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things) is a 1st century BC
didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius with the
goal of explaining Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience.
Lucretius presents the principles of atomism; the nature of the
mind and soul; explanations of sensation and thought; the
development of the world and its phenomena; and explains a variety
of celestial and terrestrial phenomena. The universe described in
the poem operates according to these physical principles, guided by
fortuna, "chance," and not the divine intervention of the
traditional Roman deities.
