The role of Greek thought in the final days of the Roman republic
is a topic that has garnered much attention in recent years. This
volume of essays, commissioned specially from a distinguished
international group of scholars, explores the role and influence of
Greek philosophy, specifically Epicureanism, in the late republic.
It focuses primarily (although not exclusively) on the works and
views of Cicero, premier politician and Roman philosopher of the
day, and Lucretius, foremost among the representatives and
supporters of Epicureanism at the time. Throughout the volume, the
impact of such disparate reception on the part of these leading
authors is explored in a way that illuminates the popularity as
well as the controversy attached to the followers of Epicurus in
Italy, ranging from ethical and political concerns to the
understanding of scientific and celestial phenomena.
