Spheres of Pythagoras


Iamblichus 3rd-4th Century CE
Iamblichus Chalcidensis was a Syrian Neoplatonist philosopher whose compendium, On the Pythagorean Life is one of the most extensive surviving sources of Pythagoras’ thought. He emphasized Pythagoras’ understanding of Earth as a sphere and the importance of the sphere, the dodecahedron and the pentagon in his secret teachings.
