That Pythagoras was the son of Mnesarchus, may be safely affirmed on the authority ofHerodotus; that Samos, the Greek island in the eastern Aegean, was his birth-place, is affirmed by Isocrates.[7] His father was a Phoenician merchant from Tyre, his mother, Pythais, was apparently a native of Samos.
