'pi' was known before Pythagoras.
The Sumerian Civilisation found the constant of proportion between a circles diameter and circumference to be 3.141592.....
Later, the Classical Greeks (Pythagoras) gave this 'constant of Proportion' the name 'pi' .
'pi' in the classical Greek alphabet is the lower/small case letter 'p', for Proportion. There it has stayed ever since.
Algebrqaically
Circumference is directly proportional to diameter.
C directly proportional d
Equating
C = kd
'k' is constant of proportion and as mentioned above given the symbol 'pi'
Hence
C = pi*d
pi = C/d
or
pi = C / 2r
NB ; d = 2r
Hence the modern equ'n
C = 2pir

Did Pythagoras like pie?
Yes!!! Hev probably ate Cow pie or Apple pie. Careful ' 'pie' is the food that you eat . 'pi' is the constant of prportion of circles, which was known to Pythagoras.
What is Phthagoras theorem?
Pythagoras's theorem was TT (pi) which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle diameter . The ratio is 3.16 etc and he found that out in the late 19th century.

Is pi and Pythagoras the same thing?
No, pi and Pythagoras are not the same thing. Pi (π) is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. Pythagoras, on the other hand, was an ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician known for the Pythagorean theorem, which relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. While both are fundamental concepts in mathematics, they refer to different ideas.
