Quotes by Lucan

Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, known simply as Lucan, was a Roman poet born in 39 CE in Córdoba, Spain, and raised in Rome. He is best remembered for his epic poem *Pharsalia*, a vivid portrayal of the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey. Lucan's work is notable for its bold themes and philosophical depth, reflecting his disdain for tyranny and his commitment to stoic ideals. Tragically, his life was cut short at age 25 due to political entanglements, but his literary legacy continues to inspire and provoke thought about freedom and power.
