Volume 34

Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy

Volume 1 presents the texts in new translations by the authors, and these are accompanied by a philosophical and historical commentary designed for use by all readers, including those with no background in the classical world. With its glossary and indexes, this volume can stand alone as an independent tool of study.

Presents the same texts (with additional passages) as Volume 1. Includes detailed notes on the more difficult texts, and a large annotated bibliography.

The Hellenistic Philosophers: Volume 2, Greek and Latin Texts with Notes and Bibliography

This book studies the structure and origins of De Rerum Natura (On the nature of things), the great first-century BC poem by Lucretius. By showing how he worked from the literary model set by the Greek poet Empedocles but under the philosophical inspiration of the Greek philosopher Epicurus, the book seeks to characterise Lucretius' unique poetic achivement. It is addressed to those interested both in Latin poetry and in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy.
