Description
Pythagoras used to be a man of his times and for all times. So vital to mankind used to be his birth that the gods sent his birth announcement by the use of the Pythian oracle. Tradition holds that he studied with the greatest minds the ancients had to provide. Pherecydes taught him that the soul is immortal. Thales and Anaximander taught him to accept as true with only what he experienced. He studied with the first recorded scientist. Egyptian priests taught him radical ideas about the human soul. From the Babylonians magi, he learned higher mathematics and about the cosmos. He most definitely had probably the most well rounded higher education of another living person of his time, but when most men were done with life, Pythagoras used to be just making his mark. Around the age of fifty, he founded a school of higher mathematics, philosophy, music, and religion. His lessons still affect our scientific and moral communities as of late.
