Pythagoras

    Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher whose fame transcends centuries, though his actual thought is shrouded in legend. In early times, he was known not so much for mathematics as for his beliefs concerning the soul's immortality and reincarnation, his expertise in religious ritual, and his founding of a way of life emphasizing strict self-discipline and dietary restrictions. His vision of the cosmos was structured by moral principles and numerical relationships, influencing later conceptions of the harmony of the spheres. Pythagoras thus left a legacy of a new, more optimistic view of the afterlife and an inspiring mode of living.

      In this small volume an attempt has been made to gather together the best and most reliable of the sets of Ethical Verses attributed to the Pythagoreans.Both Hall's translation from the Greek (1657), and Rowe's translation from the French of André Dacier (1707), have been used in reproducing the Golden Verses of Pythagoras, but Dacier's version has been almost exclusively followed, being clearer and more intelligible.The Golden Sentences of Democrates, the Similitudes of Demophilus, and Pythagorean Symbols are from Bridgman's translation, and are to be found in his little book, Translations from the Greek, published in 1804. The Pythagorean Sentences of Demophilus, translated by Taylor, are contained in that volume also.The remaining sets of verses, translated by Taylor, are appended by him to his Iamblichus' Life of Pythagoras, published in 1818.
