But this is 5 years before Democritus was born! I saw something about his mentor Leucippus and tried to google for him, but Epicurus said Leucippus never existed.

My own theory is that the whole concept of the atom was taken from the library at Alexandria, but the Greeks just don't want to admit that they didn't originate it.

Maybe wrong date? I don't know.
