"Reformulation of the Political Role of the Goddess Venus in the De rerum natura by Titus Lucretius Carus (1st century BC)". The invocation of the goddess Venus in the proem to the first book of De rerum natura is one of the most memorable in the history of literature, as well as one of the most unsettling texts in history that deny all divine influence in human affairs. This article seeks to find, in the presence of the goddess Venus throughout the poem, an ordering dimension that would distinguish it from any traditional divine entity. We propose, then, that our goddess personifies the ordering of nature and the reintegration of the social order into the natural order. The philosopher Lucretius, in his struggle against divinity, presents Venus as an element that expresses a rationalization of the universe in political terms. To support our hypothesis, we have accessed the Latin of Lucretius to identify in it concepts of Roman politics unquestionably associated with the government of nature, which our goddess presides over.

This study focuses on a Postclassic Maya agricultural almanac in the Madrid Codex (12b-18b), which seems to show a registry of eclipses integrated with observations of Venus in the context of a 260-day calendar (Tzolkin). Using the dates of eclipses visible in Yucatan, it is possible to date the events between 1452 and 1492, contemporary with the use of the codex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the episode of Aeneid 8 in which Venus asks Vulcan to make an armour for Aeneas. In particular, we are interested in investigating the intertextual relationships which it bears to four passages of the epic tradition: Iliad 18, Iliad 14, Odyssey 8 and Lucretius' proem to De rerum natura. The analysis of Virgilian imitatio contributes to the study of the complexity of Venus' character. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article seeks to demonstrate that the general arguments about scientific exploration are also suitable for space sciences. The work is based on the example of the exploration of Venus and what it tells us about our own planet. It argues that Leslie's concept of probability is incorrect, as are also the doubts on Venusian evidence. Likewise, it concludes that we cannot deny that the unexpected discoveries that have resulted from the exploration of Venus are important to help us understand our own planet. And if these discoveries are going to be rejected, it must be for scientific reasons and not for intuitions about probability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
