Democritus - Democritus was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher (born at Abdera in Thrace around 460 BC; died in 370 BC). Democritus was a student of Leucippus, and co-originator of the belief that all matter is made up of various imperishable indivisible elements which he called "atomos", from which we get the English word atom.
Democritus (crater) - Democritus is a lunar impact crater that is located on the northern part of the Moon, just to the north of the Mare Frigoris. Just to the south of Democritus is the lava-flooded Gärtner crater, which forms a bay on the mare.
Democritus University of Thrace - The Democritus University of Thrace is a university based in Komotini, Greece. Established in July 1973, it also has campuses in the Thracian cities of Xanthi, Alexandroupolis and Orestiada.
Leucippus (crater) - Leucippus is a lunar crater on the Moon's far side. It is relatively isolated from other named crater, although it is located just over a crater diameter to the south-southeast of the huge Landau walled-plain.

There are no existing writings which we can attribute to Leucippus, since his writings seem to have been enfolded into the work of his famous student Democritus (q.v. for more on atomism). But Aristotle and Theophrastus expressly credit him with the invention of Atomism. In fact, it is virtually impossible to identify any views about which Democritus and Leucippus disagreed. Leucippus was born at Miletus (or some said Elea, for his philosophy is associated with the Eleatic philosophers), a contemporary of Zeno, Empedocles and Anaxagoras of the Ionian school of philosophy.

Polydeuces was granted immortality by Zeus, and further persuaded Zeus to share his gift with Castor. His fame was so completely overshadowed by that of Democritus, who systematized his views on atoms, that Epicurus doubted his very existence, according to Diogenes Laertius x. 7.
