However, let's get our terminology straight: Leucippus didn't "discover" anything, except possibly that his fellow Greeks were willing to listen to any crazy idea you pulled out of your posterior. Leucippus and/or Democritus (his student) were the people who first talked about "atoms", but they had no idea what they were really like or even that they really existed.

It depends. If you mean just any old atomic theory, credit usually goes to either Democritus or his mentor Leucippus.
