3. ABOUT PYTHAGORAS Pythagoras An Ionian Greek Philosopher, Mathematician and founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism. He was born on the island of Samos. Mnesarchus was the father of Pythagoras & Parthenis was his mother. He had a teacher named Themistoclea, who introduced him to the principles of ethics. He is often revered as a great Mathematician, Mystic and Scientist.

4. Mathematics The Pythagorean theorem: The sum of the areas of the two squares on the legs (a and b) equals the area of the square on the hypotenuse (c). The so-called Pythagoreans, who were the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this subject, but saturated with it, they fancied that the principles of mathematics were the principles of all things. Aristotle, Metaphysics 1–5 , cc. 350 BC a 2  + b 2  = c 2 .

5. Writings No texts by Pythagoras are known to have survived, although forgeries under his name a few of which remain extant did circulate in antiquity. Critical ancient sources like Aristotle and Aristoxenus cast doubt on these writings. Ancient Pythagoreans usually quoted their master's doctrines with the phrase  autos ephe  ("he himself said") emphasizing the essentially oral nature of his teaching.

6. Tetractys Pythagoras was also credited with devising the tetractys, the triangular figure of four rows, which add up to the perfect number, ten. As a mystical symbol, it was very important to the worship of the Pythagoreans

7. Declining from the public ways, walk in unfrequented paths. Govern your tongue before all other things, following the gods. The wind blowing, adore the sound. Assist a man in raising a burden; but do not assist him in laying it down. Speak not about Pythagoric concerns without light.  Having departed from your house, turn not back, for the furies will be your attendants.  Nourish a cock, but sacrifice it not; for it is sacred to the sun and moon.  Receive not a swallow into your house.  Offer not your right hand easily to anyone..  When rising from the bedclothes, roll them together, and obliterate the impression of the body. THE SYMBOLIC APHORISMS OF PYTHAGORAS

8. Lore An extract from Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable's entry entitled "Golden Thigh”. " Pythagoras is said to have had a golden thigh, which he showed to Abaris, the Hyperborean priest, and exhibited in the Olympic games.”

9. Pythagoras Believed All things are numbers. Mathematics is the basis for everything, and geometry is the highest form of mathematical studies. The physical world can understood through mathematics. The soul resides in the brain, and is immortal. It moves from one being to another, sometimes from a human into an animal, through a series of reincarnations called transmigration until it becomes pure. Pythagoras believed that both mathematics and music could purify. Numbers have personalities, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. The world depends upon the interaction of opposites, such as male and female, lightness and darkness, warm and cold, dry and moist, light and heavy, fast and slow. Certain symbols have a mystical significance. All members of the society should observe strict loyalty and secrecy.

10. Influence on Plato Pythagoras, depicted as a medieval scholar in the Nuremberg Chronicle. Pythagoras, or in a broader sense, the Pythagoreans, allegedly exercised an important influence on the work of Plato. Influence on esoteric groups. Pythagoras started a secret society called the Pythagorean brotherhood devoted to the study of mathematics. This had a great effect on future esoteric traditions, such as Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, both of which were occult groups dedicated to the study of mathematics and both of which claimed to have evolved out of the Pythagorean brotherhood. The mystical and occult qualities of Pythagorean mathematics are discussed in a chapter of Manly P. Hall's The Secret Teachings of All Ages entitled "Pythagorean Mathematics". Pythagorean theory was tremendously influential on later numerology, which was extremely popular throughout the Middle East in the ancient world. The 8th-century Muslim alchemist grounded his work in an elaborate numerology greatly influenced by Pythagorean theory.
