The Cosmology of Pythagoreans: The Philolaic System
The most celebrated of the Presocratics was Pythagoras of Samos (c. 550 500 BC) (Pe385). He was certainly a real person as near contemporaries refer to him (Fu49) He is supposed to have left his native, an island in the Aegean, and travelled in the Near East (Pe16ff). Later Pythagoras is supposed to have settled at Croton in southern Italy and founded a school or a movement. The movement certainly existed and even held political power at times in Croton and Metapontum (also in southern Italy) in the 5th and 4th centuries BC (Fu50). The movement was ascetic and believed in a physical and mental regime to overcome the physical body. The Pythagoreans practiced vegetarianism and believed in reincarnation
