There is some challenging philosophical poetry on the world in which we live, explaining and exploring the atomic nature of matter and seeing the wonderful ways in which nature works. Ovid’s wonderfully inventive and dramatic account of the sorceress Medea and her doomed love for the Argonaut Jason is also featured, as well as three poignant love-poems by the poet Tibullus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese three writers, in their different ways, manage to use Latin verse to convey a picture of the world which is both strange and familiar: Lucretius anticipates much of classical Physics, Ovid is the ancient world’s magic realist before the term was coined, and Tibullus offers us a case-study in heartbreak which rings as true today as it did in ancient times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloomsbury.pub\/OCReditions-2026-2028\"\u003ebloomsbury.pub\/OCReditions-2026-2028\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986655924460,"sku":"9781350384415","price":43.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/21756433482668.jpg?v=1763002577"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-john-godwin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
