Read the full account

Medium/low confidence: a late biography, not a Croton court file. Stored as a received political-violence claim, not as a unique body count.

Context

Do store the later story as later story.

Pythagoras is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

Printed Croton violence is a humanitarian-harm tradition of low confidence, not a 5th-century BCE docket.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.
