    1. Pythagoras (c. 570 – c. 495 BC), an Ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher.
      • c. 1596–1598 (date written), William Shakespeare, “The Merchant of Venice”, in Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies [] (First Folio), London: [] Isaac Iaggard, and Ed[ward] Blount, published 1623, →OCLC, [Act IV, scene i]:
        Gratiano:
        O, be thou damn'd, inexecrable dog!
        And for thy life let justice be accused.
        Thou almost makest me waver in my faith,
        To hold opinion with Pythagoras,
        That souls of animals infuse themselves
        Into the trunks of men: thy currish spirit
        Govern'd a wolf, who, hang'd for human slaughter,
        Even from the gallows did his fell soul fleet,
        And, whilst thou lay'st in thy unhallow'd dam,
        Infused itself in thee; for thy desires
        Are wolfish, bloody, starved, and ravenous.
  2. (mathematics, colloquial) Ellipsis of Pythagoras' theorem.
    • Serge Lang and Gene Murrow (1988) Geometry, →ISBN, page 203:By Pythagoras, we find the length of the third side, |AB|2 = (2a)2 – a2 = 4a2 – a2 = 3a2
