Democritus(460-370 BC), postulated the concept that things were made of indivisible atoms in order to address the questions raised by Zeno(495- 430 BC) and Parmenides(5th century BC).

Epicurus(341-270 BC) developed a materialistic philosophy based on Democritus' ideas, and Lucretius(95-55 BC) wrote a book ("On the Nature of Things") which promoted the Epicurean philosophy and the atomic concept.
