Triomphe is out Saturday, October 10: over two thousand years ago, Lucretius opened his De rerum natura with a eulogy of Epicurus.
@elderspleen.bsky.socialFrom the praise of Epicurus to the song of matter.
After Epicure Tribute, Elders Spleen begins the De rerum natura cycle (Lucretius). The bridge: Epicurus's victory over superstition.
Same conviction, one cycle to the next: thought that illuminates, unravels, liberates.
