The author explores the reasoning behind this change, pointing out that Lucretius' use of \"aera solem ignem terras animalia fruges\" differs from Empedocles' use of four elements. The article also discusses various emendations of the text, including Christ's emendation of \"solem\" to \"rorem\" to create a world of air, dew, fire, and earth. The article ultimately argues for the importance of accurately understanding the original text and its relation to Empedocles' ideas.
