Information: - Poetry (the term derives from a variant of the Greek term, "poiesis", "making") is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of languagesuch as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metreto evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning. - De rerum natura ( Latin : ( de rer natura ) ; On the Nature of Things ) is a first - century BC didactic poem by the Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius ( c. 99 BC -- c. 55 BC ) with the goal of explaining Epicurean philosophy to a Roman audience . The poem , written in some 7,400 dactylic hexameters , is divided into six untitled books , and explores Epicurean physics through richly poetic language and metaphors . Lucretius presents the principles of atomism ; the nature of the mind and soul ; explanations of sensation and thought ; the development of the world and its phenomena ; and explains a variety of celestial and terrestrial phenomena . The universe described in the poem operates according to these physical principles , guided by fortuna , '' chance , '' and not the divine intervention of the traditional Roman deities . - A poet is a person who writes poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be a writer of poetry, or may perform their art to an audience. - Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus, founded around 307 BC. Epicurus was an atomic materialist, following in the steps of Democritus. His materialism led him to a general attack on superstition and divine intervention. Following Aristippusabout whom very little is knownEpicurus believed that what he called "pleasure" was the greatest good, but that the way to attain such pleasure was to live modestly, to gain knowledge of the workings of the world, and to limit one's desires. This would lead one to attain a state of tranquility ("ataraxia") and freedom from fear as well as an absence of bodily pain ("aponia"). The combination of these two states constitutes happiness in its highest form. Although Epicureanism is a form of hedonism insofar as it declares pleasure to be its sole intrinsic goal, the concept that the absence of pain and fear constitutes the greatest pleasure, and its advocacy of a simple life, make it very different from "hedonism" as it is colloquially understood. - Titus Lucretius Carus (15 October 99 BC c. 55 BC) was a Roman poet and philosopher. His only known work is the epic philosophical poem "De rerum natura" about the tenets and philosophy of Epicureanism, and which is usually translated into English as "On the Nature of Things". Lucretius has been credited with originating the concept of the three-age system which was formalised from 1834 by C. J. Thomsen.
