 Leucippus (5th c. BCE) is usually credited with inventing atomism in the Greek tradition. According to a passing remark by the geographer Strabo, Posidonius (1st c. BCE Stoic philosopher) reported that ancient Greek atomism can be traced back to a figure known as Moschus or Mochus of Sidon, who lived at the time of the Trojan wars. This report was given credence in the seventeenth century: the Cambridge Platonist Henry More traced the origins of ancient atomism back, via Pythagoras and Moschus, to Moses. This theologically motivated view appealed to those who saw revelation as the source of all truth and wanted to trace ancient Greek ideas to Biblical sources. An ancient Greek source commenting on the travels of Democritus credits his mathematical interests to time spent among Egyptian geometers and suggests that he may have learned from the philosophers of India.
