Pythagoreans 540-300 BCE (list)

v0.2

Where possible, the name of each philosopher has been linked to their Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry, and their number in Diels-Kranz, "Fragmente der Vorsokratiker" (DK n) given.

This list includes only the Pythagoreans of the classical era; later self-styled Pythagoreans largely depend on Platonist and Aristotelian teaching.
