Pythagoreion is a small town on the Greek island of Samos. In classical antiquity, it was a polis located in the Persian Bay region of the island.
==History==
The philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras, was born in the town around 570 BCE.Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy – Divine Science: Chapter 2 – Kyros of Zarax Pythagoras' protege, the Olympian Kyros of Zarax, paid his master a visit after returning to Samos from his victory at the Olympic games.

==Trivia==
*The name of the town is anachronistic, as it would have been simply known as Samos during antiquity. The modern settlement, built upon the ancient town, was known as Tigani through 1866 until 1955, when it was renamed Pythagoreio (Greek: Πυθαγόρειο) in honor of Pythagoras.
**The archaeological site of the ancient town is in turn named Pythagoreion after Pythagoreio.
