Pythagoras
of Crotona, Pythagoras
lived 500 years B.C. Although born in Syria and
raised in Greece, Pythagoras taught and lived in
southern Italy near Crotona. Hence, he was known as
Pythagoras of Crotona. It is believed that this
renowned teacher studied in both Egypt and India in
his early years. Nutrition
and healing were a natural part of this Academy and some
records still exist of his advice. Many of the later Greek
philosophers such as Aristotle and Socrates give a great
deal of credit to this eclectic healer as having been
influential in their lives. The
scope of the Pythagorean Academy teachings addressed the
harmony of body, mind and spirit in life and in healing.
From his study of mathematics, Pythagoras developed his
Theory of Numbers which embodied proportion, order and
harmony, both in humanity and the cosmos. Since this is the
approach and philosophy of this clinic, it is fitting to
name this facility after such a great man.
An Advocate for
Harmony and Healing
Pythagoras is best remembered for the "Pythagorean Theorem,"
so fundamental to mathematics, but his studies and teachings
in other subjects were voluminous. His Golden Verses survive
to this day. Pythagoras taught astronomy, music and
philosophy to all the students in his Academy. He was the
first teacher in the ancient world to invite women to study
in his Academy and to consider them to be equal to men in
opportunity. In fact, both his wife and daughter were among
his students.
