@Sigma Are they related in any way to the #UFOs seen in several medieval and Renaissance paintings? Fascinating. #Epicureans #philosophers

I encourage everyone to read De Rerum Natura, by Titus Lucretius. It is a fascinating work from the time of Gaius Iulius Caesar regarding the proto-scientific thought processes of the #Epicureans, who were a group of #philosophers that went almost entirely extinct during the European Dark Ages. The Epicureans were very nearly the first science fiction authors in the entire world, and De Rerum Natura outright suggests that there might be non-human intelligence in the universe. In Caesar's time!
