• Resumen

  • he group of three verses, which is repeated four times in Lucretius’ poem, concerns first of all the basic principle of Epicurus’ isonomy, that is the law ruling the world, and the theory of the limits. Lucretius however uses a complicated pattern of chiastic allusions in order to express the polysemy of this concept, which is focused on the Roman metaphor of the terminus.
