Pythagoras would have been born just after the king of Babylon had finally crushed Judea (and began besieging Tyre), a fate from which God, by His wrath at Judea's scorn since sometime during the reign of Solomon in 970-931 BC, refused to spare them (2 Chron. 36:16).

Pythagoras would have been born on the island of Samos just after the king of Babylon had finally crushed Judea (and began besieging Tyre), a fate from which God, by His wrath at Judea's scorn since sometime during the reign of Solomon in 970-931 BC, refused to spare them (2 Chron. 36:16).

So while to the Greeks Pythagoras lived during the very first phase of its history following their Dark Age after the Homeric and Hesiodic poets and during the [[Lelantine War]], by that point, history by year had already been well-established for centuries in Judea, making Pythagoras subject to the kind of historical analysis today that barely would have existed in Greece at the time.
