What island was Pythagoras born on?
Samos
Why did Pythagoras move to croton?
Probably because Polycrates, ruler of Samos, Pythagoras' hometown, was making his plans difficult to achieve, some say he was overwhelmed with public duties in Samos
Did Pythagoras live in Samos all his life?
No. He moved to Croton when he was around 40.
What is Pythagoras forename?
That was his forename. His name was Pythagoras of Samos. He was an Ionian Greek Philosopher/Mathematician and founder of the religious movement called Pythagoreanism. Most of the information about Pythagoras was written down centuries after he lived, so very little reliable information is known about him. He was born on the island of Samos (where he is named after), and might have travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and other places seeking knowledge.
Does Pythagoras have a middle name?
No. For that matter, he didn't really have a last name. His name was Pythagoras. If anyone wanted to make sure that he didn't get confused with some other Pythagoras, they'd say something like "Pythagoras of Samos" (except, of course, that they'd say it in Greek: Î?υθαγόρας ὁ Σάμιος).The reason we have last names, middle names, etc. now is to avoid any confusion of this sort. Pointing up the need is the fact that there actually was another (semi-) famous Pythagoras living in Samos who was a sculptor and, to make matters worse, according to Pliny the Elder (see, there's another one we need to add a distinctive to; the modern system is looking smarter and smarter) he apparently looked a lot like the philospher/mathematician.
