Resumo: In the paper that follows, we propose an original interpretation about the section of De rerum natura that brings the myth of Sisyphus (3. 995-1002). Our reading departs from the increasingly unstable relationship of complementarity and reciprocal exclusion between auctoritas and potestas. Lucretius invokes the mythical character to warn of the need to prevent the refusal of imperium to high magistrates by the negative response coming from the gods. He reproaches the use of the auspicia by some branches of Roman elite committed with optimates political orientation. From his point of view, they would be seeking to frustrate the political program of leaders aligned with the intellectual tradition referred as “popularis”.

Nossa leitura parte do contexto de crescente desequilíbrio verificado em fins da República, da dinâmica de complementaridade e exclusão recíprocas do binômio propriamente romano de auctoritas e potestas. Lucrécio evoca o personagem mítico como forma de alertar para a necessidade de impedir que o imperium dos altos magistrados lhes seja recusado pelo “não” vindo dos deuses. O autor acusa segmentos da elite comprometidos com a orientação política “dos optimates” de ob-nuntiare, mediante consulta aos auspícios, o trabalho das assembleias eletivas e deliberativas do populus romanus, e, com isso, de frustrar as agendas de líderes alinhados à tradição intelectual dos “popularis”.
