Fun fact: Pythagoras hated beans, and believed they were the devils spawn or something. One fateful day he was running from a bunch of murders who rudely interrupted some meeting (i think) and as he ran came across a bean field. It would go against his teachings to touch the beans so he allowed himself to be killed!!

Actually, pythagoras worshipped fava beans because he believed them to hold the souls of the dead because they were flesh like and would not eat them because he considered it cannabilism. It’s also not confirmed that that’s how he died but Its likely it was because he would not step on the sacred beans, lol.

So he either hated them so bad he no step or loved them so much he no step, or it’s a made up fan fiction

That's ony a legend though, there are different theories about his death (even though they are not as memorable as the bean field one)

Pythagoras was a weird cult leader. He also didn't invent the Pythagorean theorem. He just Ben Franklin'ed that shit.
