Pythagoras In Love

?Pythagoras in Love? is a poetic exploration that delves into the profound legacy of the ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician and mystic Pythagoras. What began as a serendipitous encounter in 2002, when the author received inspiration to write poems about Pythagoras while walking through Inwood Park in New York City, has blossomed into a remarkable literary feat. Initially drawn to the mathematician's renowned theorem, the author's curiosity soon evolved into a deep fascination with Pythagoras?s multifaceted genius. Through an intricate tapestry of verse, ?Pythagoras in Love? unravels the philosopher's crucial role in shaping Greek and Western philosophy, his profound influence on Plato and his advocacy for the emancipation of women and slaves. The collection also sheds light on Pythagoras's belief in metempsychosis, the transmigration of souls, and his reverence for the well-being of all living creatures, revealing intriguing parallels with the earliest Hindu spiritual traditions. The book not only pays homage to a pioneering thinker but also serves as a poetic bridge between East and West, inviting readers to embark on a transcendent journey of self-discovery and interconnectedness. This powerful collection resonates with the timeless wisdom of a sage whose impact continues to reverberate through the ages.
