It is hard to let go of Pythagoras. He has meant so much to so many for so long. I can with confidence say to readers of this essay: most of what you believe, or think you know, about Pythagoras is fiction, much of it deliberately contrived.

Excellent link about Pythagoras. I love it when I find out things I "know" are wrong.
I wonder though, about Carl Sagan's interpretation of the Ionian (open source thinking)and Pythagorean (secret society proprietary intellectualism) approaches to Science that he outlines in the beginning of his "Cosmos" series.
