		Iole was actually the daughter of Eurytus of Oechalia (yes, that Eurytus of Oechalia....which is to say, not this Eurytus of Oechalia), and became Hercules’ mistress while he was married to Deianeira.
		Eurytus has, indeed, planned a demonstration of a most peculiar and gruesome sort: he has his condemned prisoners carried out on crosses (diagonal ones, let’s just be clear about that), and then gets an elephant to step on their heads!
		This gives Eurytus a fit of the shakes, although he recovers himself sufficiently to try and strangle Tyndaros, when his advisor is unwise enough to taunt the tyrant with his cowardice.

	Pythagoreanism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		BC) presents Philolaus and Eurytus as the teachers of the last generation of Pythagoreans (Diogenes Laertius VIII 46) and Diogenes Laertius reports that Plato came to Italy to meet Philolaus and Eurytus after the death of Socrates (III 46).
		Scholars often treat Eurytus' procedure as puerile and have sometimes not taken him seriously (Kahn 2001, 33), or suggested that Theophrastus is ironical in his presentation.
		It is important to note that nothing in these reports suggests that Eurytus thought that things were composed of numbers or that he regarded the points that defined a given thing as atoms of which things were made, as has sometimes been supposed (Cornford 1922-1923, 10-11).

	Pythagoreanism
		He says that Eurytus made likenesses of the shapes of things in the natural world with pebbles and thus determined the number which belongs to each thing by the number of pebbles required.
		He, in fact, presents Eurytus very positively as someone who showed in detail how specific parts of the cosmos arose out of basic principles, in contrast to other thinkers, who posit basic principles but do not go very far in explaining how the world arises from those principles.
		He may then have drawn the general conclusion that any shape or structure was determined by a unique number of points and tried to represent these by setting out the necessary number of pebbles.
