Pythagoras and the Delphic Mysteries
by Edouard Schure

This is a short biography of Pythagoras, written from a Theosophical, esoteric perspective. No actual texts of Pythagoras have survived: we only have second hand summaries and pastiches, such as the Golden Verses. However, his impact on successive thinkers has been enormous. This work serves as a short, readable introduction to the man, his thought and times, and the modern esoteric interpretation of his place in the history of ideas.

Table of Contents :

01. Greece in the Sixth Century
02. Years of Travel
03. The Temple of Delphi—The Science of Apollo—Theory of Divination—The Pythoness Theoclea
04. The Order and the Doctrine
05. Marriage of Pythagoras—Revolution at Croton—The Master's End—The School and its Destiny
