Life of Pythagoras

Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher, born to Apollo and Pythias.  As a young man, Thales, a philosopher who really admired him, told Pythagoras that he was sure he would become the wisest and most divine of men if he traveled to Egypt and got in touch with the priests of Memphis and Jupiter.  Pythagoras set off to Egypt, but first stopped in his native country, Sidon.  There he gained more knowledge from prophets and local hierephants. He then continued on to Egypt where he spent 22 years discovering and gaining all the knowledge available to him until he was taken captive to Babylon where he spent 15 years studying science, arithmetic, and music. At the age of 56, he returned to Samos where his method of teaching wasn't accepted by the Simians so he moved on to Italy where he was very admired.  He shared his gained wisdom with young men and women and continued to do so for years to come.

Pythagoras was very unique and interesting.  He seemed to have a hunger for knowledge that couldn't be satisfied.  He became the founder of Pythagorean brotherhood that was religious in nature, but contained principles that influenced the thought of Plato and Aristotle.  His mannerism and teachings were either accepted or rejected by society, though it didn't stop him from moving on and teaching those that did accept his teachings and ways of thinking.  He was eager to share all that he had learned himself.  He went on to be one of the wisest and most divine of men just has Thales believed he would be.
