Pythagoras   of Samos (580 BC- 495BC)  was an Ionian Greek philosopher, mathematician, and founder of the metaphysical-spiritual movement called Pythagoreanism.  In the sixth century BC, Pherekydes of Syros, the reputed teacher of Pythagoras and contemporary of Thales and Anaximander (born 610 BC), wrote a book about the birth of the gods and the origin of the cosmos. Considered one of the first prose works of Greek literature, Pherekydes' book survives only in fragments while  the teachings of Pythagoras permeat all scientific and spiritual boundaries.
