De rerum natura (The Way Things Are) 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.
