artnet.com: Resource Library: Pythagoras of Rhegion |
 | | According to ancient writers, there were two sculptors named Pythagoras, one from Rhegion, the other from Samos (Pliny: Natural History, XXXIV.xix.59–60; Diogenes Laertius: VIII.xlvii). |
| | Modern scholars, however, generally equate the two, supposing that Pythagoras was among the Samians who migrated to Zankle-Messana in 494 BC and became subject to Anaxilas of Rhegion (Herodotus: Histories, VI.xxii–xxiii). |
| | Pythagoras was the student of Klearchos of Rhegion (Pausanias: Guide to Greece, VI.iv.3) and the teacher of Sostratos (Pliny: XXXIV.xix.60). |
