Note 329 — Chapter VIII · EARLY ROMAN SATIRE—C. LUCILIUS, DIED 102 B.C.
Reading edition
Passages of Lucilius apparently imitated by Lucretius:—
(1) 'Quantum haurire animus Musarum ec fontibu' gestit.' (2) 'Cum sciam nil esse in vita proprium mortali datum Jam quae tempestate vivo, chresin ad me recipio.' (3) 'Ut pueri infantes credunt signa omnia ahena Vivere et esse homines, sic istic omnia ficta Vera putant.'
Virgil's 'rex ipse Phanaeus' is said by Servius to be imitated from the Χῖός τε δυναστής of Lucilius. Other imitations are pointed out in Macrobius and in Servius. An apparent imitation by Catullus has been already noticed.
