Read the full account

Cambridge archaic-Greece pages and museum South-Italian collections print unfree labour as the rural and urban machine of Croton’s world. The dated carrier is that modern handbook. The school as later told sits in that air. Medium/low confidence on unique Pythagorean slave rules.

Context

Not a Pythagorean slave code autograph. A context Fact as later economic history.

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 slaveholding Croton is not a 6th-century payroll of the school.
