I think he’s best known for his alleged mathematical discoveries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras#In_mathematics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras#In_mathematics: “Although Pythagoras is most famous today for his alleged mathematical discoveries, classical historians dispute whether he himself ever actually made any significant contributions to the field. […] The Pythagorean theorem was known and used by the Babylonians and Indians centuries before Pythagoras, but he may have been the first to introduce it to the Greeks. Some historians of mathematics have even suggested that he—or his students—may have constructed the first proof. Burkert rejects this suggestion as implausible, noting that Pythagoras was never credited with having proved any theorem in antiquity.”
