The Greek model of the atom is a simple one: take anything you like, break it down in smaller and smaller amounts and then you'll arrive at the "most fundamental unit" of that particular stuff, whatever it is. That is the atom. This was a philosophical idea and not "science" as we know it, but it was amazingly accurate. We know that the smallest unit of stuff nowadays can be an atom or a molecule as regards chemical elements or chemical compounds, but the Greeks just "thought this up" with nothing but brain power. They had no way to make things small and observe them. No microscopes or that sort of thing - not that a molecule can be seen with one.

The same as everyone else on the planet today. If you mean what was it like when they did not know better than it would have been nonexistent. Atom just means "the smallest part" in Greek. They had know idea about electrons and the like.
