Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek philosopher and founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism. Most of our information about Pythagoras was written down centuries after he lived, thus very little reliable information is known about him. He was born on the island of Samos, and may have travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and other places seeking knowledge. Around 530 BC, he moved to Croton, a Greek colony in southern Italy, and there set up a religious sect. His followers pursued the religious rites and practices developed by Pythagoras, and studied his philosophical theories. The society took an active role in the politics of Croton, but this eventually led to their downfall. The Pythagorean meeting-places were burned, and Pythagoras was forced to flee the city. He is said to have ended his days in Metapontum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iamblichus of Syrian Chalcis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1770830294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770830295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Theophania Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Iamblichus of Syrian Chalcis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937931952383,"sku":"9781770830295","price":25.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c6e37ba4-3b57-4d75-af88-1d71c8bfade8.jpg?v=1681432746","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-pythagoras-iamblichus-of-syrian-chalcis-9781770830295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
