Pythagoras, the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician, is said to have died around 495 BCE under dramatic circumstances. After his followers, known as Pythagoreans, faced persecution in Croton, Pythagoras and many of his disciples fled. According to legend, he was trapped by enemies in a field and refused to escape by stepping over a bean field, as beans were considered sacred by him. Ultimately, he was captured and either killed or died shortly thereafter, though the exact details of his death remain obscured by myth and legend.
