Pythagoreion is a small town on the Greek island of Samos. In classical antiquity, it was a polis located in the Persian Bay region of the island.
History[edit | edit source]
The philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, was born in the town around 570 BCE.[1] Pythagoras' protege, the Olympian Kyros of Zarax, paid his master a visit after returning to Samos from his victory at the Olympic games.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War, the town was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
Trivia[edit | edit source]

- The archaeological site of the ancient town is in turn named Pythagoreion after Pythagoreio.
