Abstract

This paper offers a new reading of the end of Lucretius 5.1442, arguing that the line-end as we have it (much less Servius’ apparent reference to it) cannot stand, but that the original reading may yet be recovered from the transmitted text. The paper also seeks to show how the corruption may have arisen.
