first idea: not just the Aeneis, but Maro himself in Bucolica (Ekloga), the creation story of the bound Silen, that is carmen No 6 (in the symmetrical order of Bucolica the corresponding carmen to the famous No 4). And another verse-group belonging to the Lucretius-Maro-connection is the bees-kosmos in Georgica 4,219-227. second idea: coming from the cosmology of Bucolica 6 and Georgica 4,219 ff to the elements-and-reincarnation-concept of pater Anchises in Aeneis 6. You have luck: only a few versus are to be compared, but very dense and lucretissi.
