Testimonies of his contemporaries (Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Ion of Chios, Herodotus)

Pythagoras

Xenophanes (DK 21 B 7) ridicules transmigration with the anecdote of the beaten dog; Heraclitus (DK 22 B 40 and B 129) accuses him of polymathy and of having fashioned a wisdom out of others' writings; Empedocles (DK 31 B 129) praises a man of superhuman knowledge whom antiquity identified with him; Ion of Chios (DK 36 B 4) alludes to his doctrine on the fate of the soul; Herodotus (II 81, II 123, IV 95) calls him "not the weakest of the Greek sages" and links his doctrine to Egypt and to the Thracian Zalmoxis.
