"Iamblichus' Life of Pythagoras, or Pythagoric Life" by Iamblichus is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work provides a detailed biography of the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras, emphasizing his philosophical teachings, ethical guidelines, and the spiritual dimensions of his life. The text offers insights into not only Pythagoras the individual but also the broader Pythagorean community, reflecting on their contributions to philosophy and ethics. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the significance of Pythagoras as the father of philosophy, outlining the importance of authentic memoirs of his life. It describes Iamblichus, the biographer, as a revered philosopher himself, and assures the accuracy of the account based on high antiquity sources. The first chapters delve into Pythagoras's noble lineage, early education, and travels through various regions, including his interactions with prominent philosophers and priests in Egypt. Through these narratives, Iamblichus begins to weave a portrait of Pythagoras as a divine figure, gifted with extraordinary wisdom and virtues, destined to influence and inspire many in the realms of knowledge and ethics.
