The members of the religious brotherhood of Pythagoreans were bound by a code of secrecy. Believing in the transmigration of souls, the religion also incorporated intellectual activity into its rituals.
Pythagoras is mostly known for Pythagorean theorem, but there are other important discoveries to his name, such as the incommensurability of a square's side and diagonal and Archyta's method of doubling the volume of a given cube. Archytas of Tarentum and Philolaus of Croton were the most important followers of Pythagoras.
