Lucretius was born in 99 BC, and On the Nature of Things is his only surviving work. His aim was to free the Roman world from its two great terrors - the gods and death. Lucretius argues that the gods are not actively involved in life, so need not be appeased; and that death is the end of everything human - body and soul - and therefore should not be feared. But On the Nature of Things is also a poem of striking imagery, intimate natural observation and touching pathos.

Homer is one of the most important figures in ancient Greek literature, believed to have lived in the 8th century BC.

Both works are celebrated for their vivid storytelling, complex characters, and profound exploration of human nature.
