  • This article examines the value and symbolism of the Gigantomachy imagery in Lucr. 5, 110-121 in relation to texts to which Lucretius may have alluded (Plato and Aristotle) in order to show that the passage should be read not only as a polemic against other philosophical schools, but as a claim of the autonomy and independence of Epicureanism as upholder of vera ratio against religio.
