A musician, A mathematician, A philosopher and he has many identities,                                                                                        

This person was born before the five hundred 70 BC’s. 

He contributed to the maths culture,                                          

Because of which now we see him as a sculpture.

He did much more than studying math,

That everyone thought him to be a psychopath.


He was born in the Pre-Socratic philosophy era on the island of Samos, Greece, 

And married to a beautiful woman Theano in peace.

All his life he chased for excellence,                                                                                 

His father Mnesarchus(Nesarcus) and his mother Pythias, were proud of his intelligence.

He had 3 kids two sons and a daughter, 

He sentenced Hippasus to die underwater.


A2 + B2 = C2 was his theorem, 

Now, this is used in every school’s decorum.

Pythagoras made this a big news,

Helping generations to find the hypotenuse                                      

He had good relations with triangle,

Which now we see in our mad angle. 


He is credited with the discovery of the intervals between harmonious musical notes,

With his life spent on the sailor boats.

He admired playing with digits ,

Which helped him in unveiling the theory of Pythagorean Triplets.                                      

He became convinced that the whole universe was based on calculations,

And that the planets and stars moved according to mathematical equations.


He is considered as the god of mathematic,

All his work is very systematic.

The death of Pythagoras still remains a fascinating story,                         

And after his demise everyone was in melancholy.

A musician, A mathematician, A philosopher and he has many names,

He lit the entire world with inspirational flames
