By analysing the cumulated usage of the Greek loan word  daedalus  in  De rerum natura  it can be shown that the mythological artist Daedalus functions as a poetological model for the didactic narrator. The narrator presents himself as a poet-Daedalus. As with Daedalus’ statues who were said to see and walk around like human beings,  De rerum natura  adds to the poetic mimesis (which is in respect of content) a formal one such as to stand as a model for the nature it describes. Likewise, as Daedalus’ most characteristic feature in classical literature is his astuteness the muse of poetry in  De rerum natura  is called  callida . The craftsman’s work finally is reflected in the ordering of elements, i.e. in word order. The Epicurean position is furthermore elucidated by comparison with the Platonic view on Daedalus.
