You know Pythagoras for his triangle.
But in Croton, he did some pretty dubious things.

He gathered a group of followers who obeyed strict rules:
no meat, no fish, not even beans. They stayed
silent for years… and treated him like a god.

To them, he was divine. To others, a dangerous fanatic.
That’s why Pythagoras was not just a philosopher.
He was a cult leader.
