Ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician (c. 570-495 BCE), famous for the Pythagorean theorem relating to right triangles.
From Greek Πυθαγόρας (Pythagoras), possibly meaning 'speaker for the Pythian (Apollo)' from Pythios (epithet of Apollo) and agoreuein (to speak publicly). His name connects him to the Oracle at Delphi, sacred to Apollo.
Pythagoras founded one of history's most influential schools of thought, blending mathematics, philosophy, and mysticism - his followers believed numbers were the key to understanding the universe. Ironically, while everyone knows the Pythagorean theorem, he may not have discovered it, as similar relationships were known to Babylonians centuries earlier.
