- "It's so quiet here. Nothing like the rest of the Greek world."
- ―Kassandra[src]
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 Southern Sporades.
History
6th century BCE
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]
5th century BCE
During the Peloponnesian War the town was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[2]
Trivia
- The name of the town is anachronistic, as it would have been simply known as Samos during antiquity. The modern settlement, built upon the ancient town, was known as Tigani through 1866 until 1955, when it was renamed Pythagoreio (Greek: Πυθαγόρειο) in honor of Pythagoras.
- The archaeological site of the ancient town is named Pythagoreion after Pythagoreio.
