Pythagoras's life wasn't completely archived and original writings of his were never found, yet his influence in philosophy, mathematics, and life in general is still noted till this day. 

Born in: Samos, Greece

Father, known as Mnesarchus: a wealthy merchant from Tyre.

Mother, known as Pythias: a native of Samos.

with Two or three siblings.

Wife, known as Theano: his 1st student in Croton.

Son:Telauges 

Three daughters: Damo, Arignote, and Myia

*Myia is said to have married a very famous wrestler "Milo of Croton"

1) Pythagoras was a traveler: he explored Egypt, Africa, and some various parts of the Mediterranean including Greece.

2) He was the founder of his own religion: core principles of this religion was that everything is related to Mathematics and numerology. For example, 7 was the number of wisdom, 8 was the number of justice, but number 10 was the most sacred. 

Tetractys:                   .    -> being number 10

3) Metempsychosis: he believed that the soul is immortal and that after death the soul will reincarnate into another body. Pythagoras himself recalls that he was a fisherman, another random philosopher, and the son of Hermes in his previous lives. 

4) His followers were called Pythagoreans and can be divided into two groups; Methamatikoi or learners who lived at the school and Akousmatics or listeners who lived with their families and attended the lectures during the day. 

*It was said that he gave his lectures behind a curtain.

5) It was believed that new initiates had to spend five years in silence. Silence, in Pythagoras's belief helped people stay pure. 

6) There are some people who believed that Pythagoras had a supernatural powers including remembering his past lives, predicting earthquake, talking to the animals and stopping wind from blowing.

7) Some say he reached mathmetical equations with the help of musical notes. 

8) His love for mathematics and numerology lead him to find one of the most used and known formulas which is c^2= a^2 + b^2 (Pythagorean's theorem)

9) One of Pythagoras’s most famous followers was Hippasus. Legend has it that he was the first person to prove the existence of an irrational number which made Pythagoras drown him. 

10) Vegetarianism: Pythagoras was one of the first people in Western history to abstain from eating meat for moral reasons. Eating the dead, he taught his followers, polluted the body—and so they must never kill a living thing.

After travelling for quite a while, Pythagoras came back to Croton where there was a decisive victory. a democratic constitution was created that pythagoreans rejected. 

During a meeting held by Pythagoras, an attack by this constitution was initiated. Some say that Pythagoras wasn't present there. Some others who believe he was there say he was killed directly. Some others believe he survived the attack and went to Lacris where he pleaded for sanctuary, but then died of starvation.  However, some other myths say that his devoted students built a bridge for him with their bodies so that he can escape. Yet, he felt so bad about it which made him commit suicide. 

Family:

Father: The Sea God Thaumas

Mother: the Ocean Nymph Electra

Twin Sister which betrayed the Gods and became a Titan herself. 

-Iris is known for her position as a goddess for the sky and the ocean. She replenishes the clouds with the ocean water. 

-She is the carrier of sacred water through river ceremony of solemn oath taking of Gods. 

-According to some, she is a virgin god but some stated that Iris is married to the god of the west wind ( Zephyrus ) and had one child who is the god of love ( pothos ).

-Iris travels along the rainbow while carrying messages from god to god and god to men.

-She travels with the speed of light.

Silence, silence, and silence. 

I, Pythagoras the great, require a space where I can clear my thoughts and generate philosophies. 

I don’t want to hear anything except the sound of the roaring ocean. 

I have a collection of books and mathematical instruments which I tend to use daily. 

I tend to get guests every day, mostly students who visit me to listen to my lectures which means that I need a space where I can give lectures on a theatre covered by a curtain. I sip wine regularly behind my hidden theatre.

I want to feel that I am exposed to the nature, yet not exposed to the world (people). People from croton are planning to kill me especially when I create new ideas and travel to unknown places where I explore the secrets of the world. 

For my entertainment, I need a space where I can play my lyre for days while I relate my symphonies to that of the ocean so that, one day, I hope, I could meet Iris, the Goddess off the Rainbow. 

Heads up, designers! The architect who can include Iris’s narrative in my space will directly be advantaged to become one of my students without passing through the 5 years of silence.

Again, silence and privacy are important to me. My enemies would even search the sand pebbles to kill me. Therefore, I want a villa with a security system where I can hide with my devoted students without being attacked or haunted. 

N.B: The architect is obliged to show me his calculations before construction. xx
