			Around 570 BCE, the mathematician Pythagoras was born on Samos.<ref name="Porphyry 270">Porphyry. ''Vita Pythagorae'' (c. 270). Translated by Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie, 1920.</ref> By the time he was an elderly man, he had become an influential philosopher in his hometown of [[Pythagoreion]], founding an [[Hermeticists\|ascetic movement]] and mentoring an athlete by the name of [[Kyros of Zarax]].<ref name="Divine Science Chapter 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' – [[Divine Science: Chapter 2 – Kyros of Zarax]]</ref>

	~~===Development of the Tetractys===~~
	One morning after Kyros had returned from his victories in that year's [[Olympic Games]], the two took a stroll through the streets of Samos when Pythagoras suddenly rushed inside the shop of some local [[blacksmith]]s. He took to experimenting with different sized hammers striking on anvils, noting the distinct sounds each made, much to the bemusement of his protégé and the blacksmiths. When he was done, he and his apprentice carried ten hammers back to his villa where Kyros was commanded to continue the experiment while Pythagoras replicated with his own voice the sounds of the hammers striking on the anvil.<ref name="Divine Science Chapter 2" />		One morning after Kyros had returned from his victories in that year's [[Olympic Games]], the two took a stroll through the streets of Samos when Pythagoras suddenly rushed inside the shop of some local [[blacksmith]]s.

	The final stage involved the mathematician working alone for hours in the courtyard, drawing diagrams and notes in the sand until in the evening he had devised a shape known as the Tetractys and concluded that [[72]] was the perfect number. Not long after, Pythagoras hosted a gathering of local scholars and elders in his villa courtyard to present his new theories. Most of them could not understand the significance of the Tetractys nor his cryptic words and left in skepticism and disdain, but many others still remained, having grasped ~~his~~ hypothesis enough to praise him.<ref name="Divine Science Chapter 2" />		The final stage involved the mathematician working alone for hours in the courtyard, drawing diagrams and notes in the sand until in the evening he had devised a shape known as the Tetractys and concluded that [[72]] was the perfect number.
