- Marble bust of a man with a long, pointed beard, wearing a tainia, a kind of ancient Greek headcovering in this case resembling a turban. The face is somewhat gaunt and has prominent, but thin, eyebrows, which seem halfway fixed into a scowl. The ends of his mustache are long a trail halfway down the length of his beard to about where the bottom of his chin would be if we could see it. None of the hair on his head is visible, since it is completely covered by the tainia.

Article · Français
Pythagore (en grec ancien : Πυθαγόρας / Puthagóras) est un réformateur religieux et philosophe présocratique qui serait né aux environs de 580 av. J.-C. à Samos, une île du sud-est de la mer Égée ; on établit sa mort vers 495 av. J.-C., à l'âge de 85 ans. Il aurait été également mathématicien et scientifique selon une tradition tardive. Le nom de Pythagore (étymologiquement, Pyth-agoras : « celui qui a été annoncé par la Pythie »), découle de l'annonce de sa naissance faite à son père lors d'un voyage à Delphes. La vie énigmatique de Pythagore permet difficilement d'éclaircir l'histoire de ce réformateur religieux, mathématicien, philosophe et thaumaturge. Il n’a jamais rien écrit, et les soixante et onze lignes des Vers d’Or qu'on lui attribue sont apocryphes et sont le signe de l'immense développement de la légende formée autour de son nom. Le néopythagorisme est néanmoins empreint d'une mystique des nombres, déjà présente dans la pensée de Pythagore. Hérodote le mentionne comme « l'un des plus grands esprits de la Grèce, le sage Pythagore ». Il conserve un grand prestige ; Hegel disait qu'il était « le premier maître universel ». D'après un écho marquant d’Héraclide du Pont évoqué par Cicéron, Pythagore serait le premier penseur grec à s’être qualifié lui-même de φιλόσοφος (philosophos), dont le sens est « ami du savoir ou de la sagesse » : « Par la même raison, sans doute, tous ceux qui se sont attachés depuis aux sciences contemplatives, ont été tenus pour Sages, et ont été nommés tels, jusques au temps de Pythagore, qui mit le premier en vogue le nom de philosophes. Héraclide du Pont, disciple de Platon, et très habile homme lui-même, en raconte ainsi l'histoire. Un jour, dit-il, Léon, roi des Phliasiens, entendit Pythagore discourir sur certains points avec tant de savoir et d'éloquence, que ce prince, saisi d'admiration, lui demanda quel était donc l'art dont il faisait profession. À quoi Pythagore répondit, qu'il n'en savait aucune ; mais qu'il était philosophe. Et sur ce, le roi, surpris de la nouveauté de ce nom, le pria de lui dire qui étaient donc les philosophes, et en quoi ils différaient des autres hommes. » — Cicéron, Tusculanes, V, 3, § 8
