In Ennius' Annals, Vergil's Aeneid and Ovid's Metamorphoses the mythological and historical narratives, typical of the epic genre, are joined to the didactic discourses on Nature given by three "teachers" (Homer, Anchises and Pythagoras) to their respective pupils (Ennius, Aeneas and Numa). Previous scholarship has discussed in detail the influence of Empedoclean philosophy on these discourses, but the way this philosophical content is communicated will be the focus of my research. My purpose is to determine the extent to which the naturalistic digressions of Latin Epic have been affected by the argumentative style of Empedocles' poetry.

在恩尼乌斯的编年史中，维吉尔的《埃涅阿斯纪》和奥维德的《变形记》中，神话和历史叙事，典型的史诗类型，与三位“老师”（荷马，安奇塞斯和毕达哥拉斯）对各自学生（恩尼乌斯，埃涅阿斯和努玛）的自然教学话语结合在一起。以前的学者已经详细讨论了恩培多克林哲学对这些话语的影响，但这种哲学内容的传播方式将是我研究的重点。我的目的是确定恩培多克勒斯的论辩风格在多大程度上影响了拉丁史诗的自然主义离题。
