The first book-length study of sexuality and gender in De rerum natura. Argues that the understanding of the universe it presents represents an unremitting assault upon the fictions that comprise Roman masculinity. Nevertheless, Lucretius offers an Epicurean vision of masculinity that just might save the Republic.
