Pythagoras

Pythagoras of Samos (Ancient Greek: Πυθαγόρας; about 570–495 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher, expert in many areas, and the founder of a movement called Pythagoreanism. His teachings about politics and religion were widely known in Magna Graecia and influenced later thinkers like Plato and Aristotle, who in turn shaped Western philosophy. Scholars today disagree about where Pythagoras studied and who influenced him, but most agree he traveled to Croton in southern Italy around 530 BC.
