Pythagoras was one weird fella, pt.1

One of the most ridiculous things Pythagoras (Who founded the Pythagorean religious cult, searched for the significance of his own brilliance and concluded that he was semi-divine) was his hatred of beans. He believed you should never eat fava beans because "...they give you gas and expelling gas took away the “breath of life.”

illustrated: Fyodor Bronnikov, Pythagoreans' Hymn to the Rising Sun, 1869.

(Last Pythagorasposting) as batshit insane of a genius he was — he wasn't a sexist. In the Greek civilization where women were considered property and were not allowed to hold any property or get education, Pythagoras actively was advocating for giving women education and had female pupils.

ALSO, HE LIVED IN GREEK COLONIES IN ITALY, NOT IN GREECE???????? WHAT????

I changed the academical field of this meme to linguistics and it still works
