Review: D. Furley, 'Variations on themes from Empedocles in Lucretius' proem', BICS 17 (1970), 55–64.

The article discusses the scholarly impact of Furley's study that argues in favour of Empedocles' twofold presence in Lucretius' DRN , both poetic and philosophical. As it concludes, in vast majority of cases the discussion of Empedocleo-Lucretian presence in Latin poetry heavily relies on it.
