La vida de Lucrecio se desenvolvio en la primera mitad del siglo I a.C. Se discuten las fechas exactas de su nacimiento y muerte, asi como las circunstancias de su vida. De la naturaleza de las cosas es el unico ejemplo de epica cientifica que nos ha llegado de la Antiguedad. Nada escapa al afan unificador y explicativo del poeta: los "accidentes" de los cuerpos, los sentidos, las tempestades, el magnetismo, la muerte y el amor, y hasta los suenos. El genio del autor y la riqueza de la doctrina convirtieron una obra filosofica en uno de los mas bellos poemas en lengua latina.
