Pythagoreion
- "It's so quiet here. Nothing like the rest of the Greek world."
- ―Kassandra[src]

Pythagoreion is a small seaport town located within the region known as Persian Bay on the island of Samos, Greece.
History
6th century BCE
The town is best known as the birthplace of the 6th century BCE philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras.[1]
The town had an altar dedicated to Hestia, which Kyros of Zarax treated with reverence.[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 in honor of Pythagoras.
