Now I’m very much interested in reading more about his life! Gotta say tho, sounds a bit like an ancient Marco Polo where maybe the myth is larger than the man at this point.

Still going to read more. Thanks for the citations.

Try to get a copy of the Pythagorean Sourcebook! It’s great reading original sources. So satisfying and often more interesting than modern scholarship about them.
