Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have long recognized Lucretius's De Rerum Natura as an important allusive source for the Aeneid, but significant disagreement persists regarding the scope and purpose of Virgil's engagement with Epicurean philosophy. In Atomism in the Aeneid, Matthew M. Gorey investigates that engagement and argues that atomic imagery functions as a metaphor for cosmic and political disorder in Virgil's epic, associating the enemies of Aeneas and of Rome's imperial destiny with the haphazard, purposeless chaos of Epicurean atoms in the void. While nearly all of Virgil's allusions to atomism are constructed from Lucretian intertextual material, Gorey shows how the poet's negative reception of atomism draws upon a long and popular tradition of anti-atomist discourse in Greek philosophy that metaphorically likened the non-teleological cosmology of atomism to civic disorder and mob rule. By situating Virgil's atomic allusions within the tradition of philosophical opposition to Epicurean physics, Atomism in the Aeneid illustrates the deeply ideological nature of his engagement with Lucretius.

Book Synopsis The Notes on Philosophy in the Commentary of Servius on the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid of Vergil by : Edith Owen Wallace

This book was released on 1938 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commentary of Servius is interesting both to the student of Vergil and to the student of the late fourth century. Servius must have seen through the intellectual atmosphere of his day in looking to the past. Perhaps, then, if his were a good interpretation of a poet whose interest in philosophy was as keen as that of Vergil, it would inevitably follow that the notes of the Commentary form an index to the condition of philosophy in that century. The following study is a test of this hypothesis.
