Abstract
Within the complex relationships between Roman poetry and Greek philosophy we can note some basic features, first of all the fact that philosophy is never the first issue of a Roman poet, in that it comes after literary conventions and narrative exigences. As for the contents involved, there is a strong presence of Stoicism and (in the late Republic) of Empedocleanism; Epicureanism is far less important.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
