Περίληψη
This article discusses the possible influence of Lucretius in the poetry of Count of Noroña. Descended from a family of noble ancestry, Gaspar Maria de Nava ‒his Christian name‒ had an excellent classical education. It is not surprising, therefore, that Lucretius, as a poet of refined rhetoric art and master of the didactic genre in Rome, inspired some of his verses. Specifically, Lucretian echoes are analyzed in three of his poems: “La venida de la Primavera”, “Imprecación contra la guerra” and “La muerte.” As an introduction to the cultural and literary context, the reasons why De Rerum Natura was a work very appreciated among the enlightened are explained.
