Lucrecio, De rerum natura: sentido y coherencia del prólogo (1.1-148)

Abstract

El prólogo del De rerum natura de Lucrecio (1.1-148) parece ser un tema gastado: ha sido tratado decenas de veces tanto por su excelente calidad como por los problemas que plantea. Pero esperamos poder dar un nuevo sentido y solución a ambos aspectos. En primer lugar, el himno a Venus no es una mera convención, sino que respira sentimiento religioso; Venus no personifica a la naturaleza, sino al placer y la felicidad y ni la hegemonía que se dice ejerce Venus, ni las plegarias que contiene el himno contradicen la teología epicúrea. Todavía más, nos parece que el himno constituye una auténtica epifanía religiosa muy propia de la teología epicúrea. En segundo lugar, suponiendo que el autor ha tomado como tema compartido los schemata o grados de dificultad de la intellectio retórica en el texto de 1.50-148, se intentan solucionar las dificultades de coherencia del texto.

The preface of Lucretius´ De rerum natura (1.1-148) seems to be a worn out theme that has been treated dozens of times as much for its excellent quality and for the problems it raises. We hope to give a new meaning and solution to both. First, the hymn to Venus is not a mere convention, but breathes religious sentiment; Venus personifies not nature, but the pleasure and happiness and neither Venus exerts hegemony nor the prayers contradict the Epicurean theology. Even more, it seems that the hymnus is a religious epiphany very appropriate to the Epicurean theology. Second, we try to solve the textual difficulties of this episode. The key for this is the shared theme of the theory of the schemata.

El prólogo del libro I del De rerum natura de Lucrecio contiene en primer lugar un himno a Venus (1.1-49). El himno se ha compuesto siguiendo los preceptos de las retóricas del género epidíctico (Gascó 1996, pp.96-97; Wunsch 1914, pp.147) y expresa la divinización de aquello que hace funcionar al mundo, el placer, el valor fundamental para un epicúreo, hominum diuomque uoluptas: «placer humano, placer divino» (1.1). Se abre con una invocación inmediata: Aeneadum genetrix… alma Venus,
