Topic: Leucippus (mythology)

	Leucippus. Cosmos of the Greek Philosophers
		Leucippus and Democritus have the essence of their cosmology in common, some basic terminology of it probably invented by the former, though the latter is by far the most famous of the two, and more well-documented.
		The worlds are formed when atoms fall into the void and are entangled with one another; and from their motion as they increase in bulk arises the substance of the stars.
		In the atomic cosmos of Leucippus there is neither room nor mission for any gods, to the extent that he not even would have needed to deny their existence.

	Thales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second is that he never married, telling his mother as a young man that it was too early to marry, and as an older man that it was too late.
		The well-traveled Ionians had many dealings with Egypt and Babylon, and Thales may have studied in Egypt as a young man. In any event, Thales almost certainly had exposure to Egyptian mythology, astronomy, and mathematics, as well as to other traditions alien to the Homeric traditions of Greece.
		Perhaps because of this his inquiries into the nature of things took him beyond traditional mythology.

		In the same way, the name Ionia was given, not to Attica where Ionians had their roots and were still then making up the bulk of the population, but to their settlements in Asia Minor, spreading over several provinces there, mainly Caria (the "country" of the Carians) and Lydia (the "country" of the Lydians).
		These stories and the characters that take part in them were the common "historical" background of most Greek of classical times and provided the subject matter of children tales, poetry and drama from Homer and Hesiod down to the Tragics and later.
		But the purpose here is not to be exhaustive, but to center on the best known of these stories, and to give a feel for the kind of stuff a Socrates or a Plato could hear from childhood on.

	Thales of Miletus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Thales was esteemed in his times as an original thinker, and one who broke with tradition and not as one who conveyed existing mythologies.
		In reference to the clause in the first passage 'to judge from what is recorded of his views', Snell convincingly argued that Aristotle had before him the actual sentence recording Thales's views about the lodestone (Snell, 1944, 170).
		In the second passage the 'some' to whom Aristotle refers are Leucippus, Democritus, Diogenes of Apollonia, Heraclitus, and Alcmaeon, philosophers who were later than Thales.
