Titus Lucretius Carus (c. 99–55 BCE) was a Roman poet and philosopher, best known for his epic poem De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), which expounds the atomistic physics and ethics of Epicurus. He sought to liberate humanity from fear of the gods and death through rational understanding of the material universe. Little is known of his life, but his work profoundly influenced later thinkers from Virgil to the Renaissance.
