  • PYTHAGORAS-The-Story-Of-A-Child
    1 Title: Pitagora – Storia di un bambino diventato immortale © 2019 Nuova Scuola Pitagorica – all rights reserved Editing by Marco Tricoli Cover by Giuseppe Santoro Translation by Gabriella Mongiardo www.nuovascuolapitagorica.org 2 Pythagoras The story of a child that became immortal Nuova Scuola Pitagorica 3 Foreword This publication was born with the intention of stimulating awareness of the Pythagorean phenomenon and of opening a debate in society and particularly in the world of school edu- cation. It represents a starting point for a series of activities in various fields to schedule over the years. The contents of this text are the result of studies and analyses conducted within the New Pythagorean School, thanks to the contribution of its members spread around the world. The New Pythagorean School is an organization open to eve- ryone, without any preclusion and without precepts or pre- conceived truths to give: a school of free thought. It conducts activities in various cultural sectors, from the artistic to the lit- erary one, giving particular emphasis to ethical philosophy as a universal guide to righteous behavior in order to create a bet- ter world. 4 Pythagoras The story of a child that became immortal There once was a beautiful and intelligent child, with long flowing hair that sometimes took on a blond shade and at other times a copper one. Thus, he was called the long-haired. His eyes were a sea green and light blue sky color and his body was thin and in shape. He was also very curious and continu- ously asked questions about everything.

  • Women in Early Pythagoreanism
    Women in Early Pythagoreanism Caterina Pellò Faculty of Classics University of Cambridge Clare Hall February 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Alla nonna Ninni, che mi ha insegnato a leggere e scrivere Abstract Women in Early Pythagoreanism Caterina Pellò The sixth-century-BCE Pythagorean communities included both male and female members. This thesis focuses on the Pythagorean women and aims to explore what reasons lie behind the prominence of women in Pythagoreanism and what roles women played in early Pythagorean societies and thought. In the first chapter, I analyse the social conditions of women in Southern Italy, where the first Pythagorean communities were founded. In the second chapter, I compare Pythagorean societies with ancient Greek political clubs and religious sects. Compared to mainland Greece, South Italian women enjoyed higher legal and socio-political status. Similarly, religious groups included female initiates, assigning them authoritative roles. Consequently, the fact that the Pythagoreans founded their communities in Croton and further afield, and that in some respects these communities resembled ancient sects helps to explain why they opened their doors to the female gender to begin with. The third chapter discusses Pythagoras’ teachings to and about women. Pythagorean doctrines did not exclusively affect the followers’ way of thinking and public activities, but also their private way of living. Thus, they also regulated key aspects of the female everyday life, such as marriage and motherhood. I argue that the Pythagorean women entered the communities as wives, mothers and daughters. Nonetheless, some of them were able to gain authority over their fellow Pythagoreans and engage in intellectual activities, thus overcoming the female traditional domestic roles.

  • Diogenes Laertius Lives of the Philosophers: Thales, Translated by C.D
    Diogenes Laertius Lives of the Philosophers: Thales, translated by C.D. Yonge Peithô's Web Lives index BOOK I. INTRODUCTION. I. SOME say that the study of philosophy originated with the barbarians. In that among the Persians there existed the Magi,1 and among the Babylonians or Assyrians the Chaldaei,2 among the Indians the Gymnosophistae,3 and among the Celts and Gauls men who were called Druids4 and Semnothei, as Aristotle relates in his book on Magic, and Sotion in the twenty-third book of his Succession of Philosophers. Besides those men there were the Phoenician Ochus, the Thracian Zamolxis,5 and the Libyan Atlas. For the Egyptians say that Vulcan was the son of Nilus*, and that he was the author of philosophy, in which those who were especially eminent were called his priests and prophets. II. From his age to that of Alexander, king of the Macedonians, were forty-eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-three years, and during this time there were three hundred and seventy-three eclipses of the sun, and eight hundred and thirty-two eclipses of the moon. Again, from the time of the Magi, the first of whom was Zoroaster the Persian, to that of the fall of Troy, Hermodorus the Platonic philosopher, in his treatise on Mathematics, calculates that fifteen thousand years elapsed. But Xanthus the Lydian says that the passage of the Hellespont by Xerxes took place six thousand years after the time of Zoroaster,6 and that after him there was a regular succession of Magi under the names of Ostanes and Astrampsychos and Gobryas and Pazatas, until the destruction of the Persian empire by Alexander.

  • WOMEN's EDUCATION and PUBLIC SPEECH in ANTIQUITY Craig
    JETS 50/4 (December 2007) 747–59 WOMEN’S EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SPEECH IN ANTIQUITY craig keener* Were women on average less educated in antiquity than men? Did they enjoy less opportunity, under normal circumstances, for public speech than men did? After noting the relevance of this question for one line of egalitarian interpretation of Paul, I will examine some exceptions to this general rule, philosophic and other ancient intellectual perspectives, the presence of some women in advanced education, women in Jewish education, and women speaking in public. I will conclude that in fact women on average were less educated than men and in particular lacked much access to public speaking roles. An egalitarian conclusion need not follow automatically from such very general premises, but neither should the egalitarian case be dismissed on the specific basis of a denial of the likelihood of these premises. Whether or not one adopts the egalitarian conclusion sometimes drawn from the ancient evidence, the ancient evidence itself need not be in question. i. the relevance of the question Evangelical scholars in good conscience come to differing conclusions on the notorious “gender” passages in Paul, and even those who share similar conclusions may not share all the approaches of their colleagues.1 (Egali- tarians also differ in terms of the circles through which they were intro- duced to the egalitarian position.)2 Nevertheless, one can summarize a general pattern in approaches to background in the debate. As a rule, egalitarians appeal to the cultural setting of the passages to limit their fullest application to a particular cultural setting.

In Classical antiquity, the Presocratic philosophers were called physiologoi (in English, physical or natural philosophers).[1] Diogenes Laërtius divides the physiologoi into two groups, Ionian and Italiote, led by Anaximander and Pythagoras, respectively.[2] Hermann Diels popularized the term pre-socratic in Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker (The Fragments of the Pre-Socratics) in 1903.

Minardi 1 Minardi, Cara 2008 New Voices Conference September 25-27 Graduate English Association English Department, Georgia State University Atlanta, Georgia Hypatia of Alexandria The forthcoming text entitled The Present State of Scholarship in Historical Rhetoric edited by Lynée Lewis Gaillet and Winifred Bryan Horner tells a single and clear story: scholarship in the history of rhetoric is sorely lacking. This is especially true concerning ancient women. There have been important and numerous contributions over the last twenty years to feminist historiographical research of all periods, however, the amount of work left to do in the ancient world is enormous. We have, in fact, barely scratched the surface of the ancient world and have recovered only Aspasia and Diotima from the fifth century BCE. However, as The Present State of Scholarship in Historical Rhetoric indicates, there is not another single historical woman of note between these Greek women and Hildegard of Bingen who lived between 1098- 1179.

As I am, at length, entirely, or to a great degree, freed from the fatigue of defending clients, and the duties of a senator, I have recourse again, Brutus, principally by your advice, to those studies which never have been out of my mind, although neglected at times, and which after a long interval I have resumed : and since the reason and pre- cepts of all arts which relate to living well, depend on the study of wisdom, which is called philosophy, I have thought of illustrating this in the Latin tongue ; not because philosophy could not be understood in the Greek language, or by Greek masters ; but it was always my opinion, that we have been more happy at inventing than the 2 THE TUSCULAN DISPUTATIONS Greeks, or that we have improved on whatever we have received from them, which they have thought worthy their care and pains : for, with regard to manners and economy, family and domestic affairs, we certainly now manage them with more elegance, and hetter than they did ; and our ances- tors have, beyond all dispute, formed the republic on better laws and customs.

  • The Italian Succession
    CHAPTER THREE THE ITALIAN SUCCESSION III 1 Harmony and Dissension It has been pointed out abovel that in Ref. I 5 Hippolytus speaks of 'other physicists who came after' Pythagoras, Empedocles and Heraclitus, and states that it is not worthwhile to describe the tenets of these [for us moderns] anonymous people because they do not really differ from their predecessors (viz., in the Italian succession). Cf. also Ref. I 2.1, 1:ilv atpeatv oi. 8ta8e~aJlEVot ou 7tOA:u 8u1v£YK<XV 'tOU au1:ou [scil., Pythago­ ras'] <ppovilJla'toc;. One wonders whom Hippolytus had in mind, but it is a definite possibility that he had seen a predecessor of the 'diadoche of Pythagoras' (so the announcement at Iambl. De vit. pyth. p. 4.28; cf. also ibid. p. 4.22, oi. 8ta8e~tXJlEVOt au1:ou 1:ilv <ptA.oao<piav) in Iambl. De vit. pyth. ch. 36, where §§ 265-6 a succession Pythagoras-Aristaeus son of Damo­ phon of Croton-Mnesarchus son of Pythagoras-Boulagoras-Gartu­ das of Croton-Aresas of Leucania-Diodorus of Aspendos is found, and finally a number of Pythagoreans are mentioned who wrote books, viz. Kleinias and Philolaus in Herakleia, Theorides and Eurytus in Meta­ pontum and Archytas in Tarentum. Iamblichus also mentions Epichar­ mus, and continues §§ 267 ff. = Vorsokr. 58 A with a long list of early Pythagoreans whose names are known while admitting that many remain anonymous (p. 143.16-7 = Vorsokr.
