Re: VIRGIL: The Aeneid vs De Rerum Natura
I would like to do that, but I have not read the Georgics; I'm a freshman in advanced Latin at NYU and have only read some of Caesar, Sallust, Catullus, Ovid, Cicero, Vergil's Aeneid, and Lucretius. I don't have a very broad base from which to draw upon I'd like to do a comparison with something I've read, though. Also--thanks to everyone for their help!

Do you have any suggestions as to comparisons of the Aeneid and De Rerum Natura or sources of information? Thank you very much Dara 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.
