Lucretius and the Transformation of Greek Wisdom
"...full of convincing individual arguments, and well worth reading."   Classical World"David Sedley has done perhaps more than anyone elsse in recent years in showing the closeness of the relationship between Lucretius and Empedocles, and especially how Empedocles' Physics provides Lucretius with his main poetic model."    Gordon Campbell, Bryn Mawr Classical Review"...Sedley's book is a great success, and forces the reader to rethink major questions about Lucretius' work."    Phoenix"...one of the most exciting and engaging books on Lucretius that I have read. It is clearly and elegantly written and Sedley is careful to assess other points of view."   Apeiron"Simply, a beautiful book: bold in its claims, meticulous and compelling in its argumentation...it should be of interest to students of Latin poetry and ancient philosophy alike, and it reads like a good detective novel."
