Read the full account

Iamblichus English and SEP print metempsychosis and kinship-of-animals as later tradition. Ranked souls can bless hierarchy of eaters. Low confidence on 6th-century belief; high that the later books print it.

Context

Kinship-of-animals can also be a later humanitarian heading. This stores ranked souls.

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 transmigration is not a 6th-century census of souls.
