Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician. He seems to have become interested in philosophy when he was quite young. As part of his education, when he was about age 20 he apparently visited the philosophers Thales and Anaximander on the island of Miletus. Later he founded his famous school at Croton in Italy.
