479 B.C. In the year that the great Chinese philosopher Confucius died in Lu, the Greek philosopher, scientist, and mathematician Leucippus was born in Abdera, a small town on the northern coast of the Greek world. Although Leucippus' contributions to the field of mathematics were relatively minor, he and his pupil Democritus founded atomic theory, postulating the theory of Atoms and Void. Leucippus' works The Great World System and On the Mind delineate his theories on the substance of the universe. Leucippus' Atomism was a precursor to atomic theory as we know it today. Though Leucippus concentrated primarily on atomic theory, his investigations occasionally ranged into the field of mathematics. He was one of the first scientists to attempt to square a circle. He also contributed to the method of exhaustion developed by Archimedes. Although some historians contended for a time that Leucippus never existed, evidence ascertains both Leucippus' existence and his discoveries. Leucippus died around 420 B.C.

C.C.W Taylor
Leucippus enligt Stobaeus
Democritos enligt Diogenes Laertius Leukippos tros komma från Abdera eller möjligen från Elea eller Miletus. Han kan ha varit en elev till Zenon (känd för sina paradoxer). Leukippos var den första atomisten och Demokritos utvecklade teorin vidare. Leukippos var så okänd att atomteorin kom att betraktas som Demokritos egen. Det finns ingen förteckning över Leukippos arbeten. Arbetet "Den stora världsordningen" betecknas av en del som författad av Demokritos, av andra som ett arbete gjort av Leukippos. "Det bästa för människan är att leva livet så glädjefullt som möjligt och med minsta sorg. Och så kan det bli om man inte söker njutning i jordiska ting." (s.23) "Gudarna älskar endast de för vilka missgärningar är förhatliga." (s.31) "Hellre fattigdom i en demokrati än såkallat välbefinnande under tyranni. Frihet är bättre än slaveri." (s.39)

THE NECKLACE OF DEMOCRITUS
Giorgio Carboni, May 1999
Tranlsation edited by Ron Wickersham, Santa Rosa, California, USA The atomic theory of matter was first proposed by Leucippus, a Greek philosopher who lived in the 5th century AD. At this time the Greeks were trying to understand the way matter is made. According to Anassagora, it is possible to subdivide matter in smaller and smaller parts, and he proposed that this process can be continued with no limit. In Anassagora's view, you can always divide a bit of substance into two parts, and each of these parts is also divisable into two parts, and so onno matter how small each part gets there is no problem dividing it agin into even smaller parts. But according to Leucippus, eventually you arrive at small particles which can not be further subdivided. Leucippus called these indivisible particles atoms . Leucippus's atomic theory was further developed by his disciple, Democritus , (the subject of our story) who concluded that infinite divisibility of a substance belongs only in the imaginary world of mathematics and should not be applied to physics because he believed that in the real world matter is composed of discrete particles. Now, imagine that between Democritus and his master Leucippus an argument arose on the real dimensions of these particles. We do not know if a dispute of this nature really took place between these two philosophers, but nothing prohibits us from imagining it. Both men believe that a limit will be reached when matter cannot be further subdivided, and Leucippus believes that this limit will be reached after dividing very few times: he takes the position that atoms are relatively large, almost big enough to be visible to the naked eye, but Democritus maintains instead that atoms are much, much, smaller. Extremely small, Democritus argues. But how small?

3. MICROCOSMOS: FROM LEUCIPPUS TO YUKAWA
3.1 Atomism With regard to the structure of the universe, the belief persists, that certain objects are fundamental and that others are derived, in the sense that the latter are composed of the former. In one version of this distinction, the fundamental objects are particles, or points of matter. Although the view of which objects qualify as fundamental particles has changed many times, the notion that the universe is ultimately made of such material points, moving through space, has endured in some form ever since the theory of atomism was first proposed by the Greeks Leucippus (5th century B.C. ) and Democritus (c.460 - c.370 B.C. ) in the 5th century B.C. (Whittaker, 1951 and 1953/1989). An atom is the smallest unit of matter that is recognizable as a chemical element. Atoms of different elements may also combine into systems called molecules, which are the smallest units of chemical compounds (Figure 5). In all these processes, atoms may be considered as the ancient Greeks imagined them to be: The ultimate building blocks of matter. When stronger forces are applied to atoms, however, the atoms may break up into smaller parts. Thus atoms are actually composites and not units, and have a complex inner structure of their own.

(1) Quotes about Leucippus LeucippusŠdid not follow the same path as Parmenides and Xenophanes concerning things that are, but seemingly the opposite one. For while they made the universe one, immovable, ungenerated, and limited, and did not even permit the investigation of what is not, he posited the atoms as unlimited and ever moving elements, and an unlimited multitude of shapes among them on the grounds that they are no more like this than like that, since he observed that coming to be and change are unceasing in things that are. (Simplicius). Simplicius Continued Further, he posted that what is is no more than what is not, and both are equally causes of what comes to be. For supposing the substance of the atoms to be compact and full, he said it is "being" and that it moves in the void, which he called "not-being" and which he declares I no less than what is. His associate, Democritus of Abdera, likewise posited the full and the void as principles, of which he calls the former "being" and the latter "not-being."

    Logos: A Journal of Undergraduate Classical Scholarship Volume 1: 2001-2002 On love and the gender of Daphne's voice in Ovid's Metamorphoses
    Jenny Chen, Boston University There is no denying that the Augustan age was a patriarchal one. That is why it has always been difficult to apply feminist theory to the Classics: how does one find equality or reveal the inequality of women through predominantly male perspectives? Recent feminist theory in the Classics has therefore been focused on trying to engender Roman poetry by giving the usually quiet female a voice, and to break down negative female archetypes by showing the construct for being what it is: a stereotype . Ovid's Metamorphoses has proved a fertile topos for this sort of work, due to the numerous relationship stories in general, and even more especially, because of the innumerable victimizations of female characters in this epic. Indeed, there are close to fifty rape episodes in Ovid's Metamorphoses according to one classicist's count , and in recent times an increasing number of feminist responses to these sections. One unfortunate tendency among these papers, however, has been the misguided proclivity to equate the Daphne and Apollo episode in book I with the numerous rapes in the

    and Scott's The Jewel in the Crown Victoria Tatko The Jewel in the Crown Midnight's Children Now fearing love, Daphne retreats into the forest, where for a time she wanders and hunts, isolated from suitors. When Apollo chances to glimpse the nymph in her lonely forest, however, his heart inflames with love, and he approaches her. The fearful Daphne turns and flees, only to be closely pursued by Apollo. Running, he vainly calls after her, pledging his "harmless" amorous intents. Just as he almost overtakes her, the weary Daphnereaching her father’s riverprays desperately for an altering of her beauty. Immediately, her arms stretch out into beautiful leafy limbs and a rough bark encircles her legs; her once flying feet become rooted stubbornly to the ground. Reaching out to embrace a girl, Apollo’s arms find themselves wrapped around a trunk; disappointed, but continuing to love her, the sun god proclaims his loyalty to the lovely laurel. Scott has projected elements of the Daphne-Apollo classical myth into The Jewel in the Crown While the textualized myth appears to be thus moving in reverse, it simultaneously proceeds forward. After her rape, Daphne Manners fearfully flees not from Hari Kumar, her westernized, dark Apollo, but from India itself (and from the failure of the British

    Return to Atomic structure menu. Page references are to S. Sambursky (1956) "The Physical World of the Greeks" Princeton University Press. ISBN 0-691-02411-1. I continue to grow in my knowledge. Atomistic theory is prominent in some of the Hindu teachings in India. Around 440 BC, Leucippus of Miletus originated the atom concept. He and his pupil, Democritus (c460-371 BC) of Abdera, refined and extended it in future years. There are five major points to their atomic idea. Almost all of the original writings of Leucippus and Democritus are lost. About the only sources we have for their atomistic ideas are found in quotations of other writers. Democritus [16K GIF] is known as the "Laughing Philosopher" because of his joyous spirit. He was a big man (relatively speaking) and enjoyed life tremendously. He also was very widely traveled.
    This map [16K GIF] shows the important towns of Greece around the time the atom concept was developed. It is about 250 miles as the crow flies between the Abdera and Miletus.
    At this time Greek philosophy was about 150 years old, having emerged early in the sixth century BC, centered in the city of Miletus on the Ionian coast in Asia Minor (now Turkey). The earliest known Greek philosopher was Thales of Miletus.
