Шаблон:Short description Atomus or Atomos was a Cypriot magician who appears in the Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus, working for Felix at Caesarea.[1][2]

Atomus was Jewish and is described as having been employed by Felix to convince Herod Agrippa II's sister Drusilla to divorce Azizus of Emesa and marry him instead.[3]

The text reads "Simon" in some Latin manuscripts and Hans Waitz (1904) suggested that the magi may have been identifiable as Simon Magus.[4] This is not generally accepted as Atomus was a Jew and Simon Magus was a Samaritan.[5]
