Über Pythagoras (291 Aufrufe)

Aelian, Varia Historia IV 17:
Pythagoras taught mankind that he came of a lineage superior to ordinary mortals. On the same day at the same hour, they say, he was seen both at Metapontum and at Croton. At Olympia, he revealed that he had one thig made of gold. He reminded Myllias of Croton that he was Midas the Phrygian, son of Gordias. (1) He stroked the white eagle, which allowed him to do so. He was addressed by the river Cosas as he forded it; the river said to him “Hail, Pythagoras.”

He said that the most sacred object is the mallow leaf, and the wisest is number. Second to number is the person who first assigned names to things. Earthquakes he traced back to nothing other than an assembly of the dead. The rainbow, he said, was the light of the sun; and the sound which often intrudes upon the ears is the voice of the gods.

It was not possible to discuss a question with him or ask for further explanation of what he had said; the men of his day treated his words as if they were oracles from the god. As he toured cities word spread that Pythagoras had come not to teach but to heal.

The same Pythagoras gave instructions not to eat heart or white chicken, and above all to avoid eating dead animals; not to got to the baths and not to walk along public roads, because it was not clear whether these places were pure.
