Pythagoras of Samos( c. 570 – c. 495 BC) was an Ionian Greek philosopher, mathematician, and the putative founder of the movement called Pythagoreanism. Most of the information about Pythagoras was written down centuries after he lived, so very little reliable information is known about him. He was born on the island of Samos, and travelled, visiting Egypt and Greece, and maybe India.Around 530 BC, he moved to Croton, in Magna Graecia, and there established some kind of school or guild. In 520 BC, he returned to Samos.
Pythagoras made influential contributions to philosophy and religion in the late 6th century BC. He is often revered as a great mathematician and scientist and is best known for the Pythagorean theorem which bears his name.
The Pythagoras monument stands on a concrete
jetty at the eastern end of Pythagorio harbour, in Samos island.
The triangular form of the sculpture is an obvious reference to the Pythagorean
theorem, and the base and hypotenuse are covered with symbols alluding to
scientific and philosophical theories attibuted to Pythagoras.
