Krótóna
Krótóna er grísk sjávarhöfn á Suður-Ítalíu þar sem á sjöttu öld f.Kr. Pythagoras, gríski heimspekingurinn og stærðfræðingurinn (ein af endurfæðingum Kúthúmi), stofnaði bræðralag innvígðra. Hinir hliðhollu sem voru teknir inn í þessar launhelgar stunduðu heimspeki sem byggði á stærðfræðilegri tjáningu algildra laga, flutt sem tónlist og í takti og samhljómi mjög agaðra lífshátta.
Members of this scientific-religious brotherhood progressed through a series of initiations. They delved into the mysteries of preexistence and the afterlife, and of creation. The students were taught that by mastering their feelings and purifying their souls, they could become, as Pythagoras’ “Golden Verses” states, “a deathless God, Divine, mortal no more.”
About 500 B.C. a rejected candidate of Pythagoras’ Academy incited a violent persecution resulting in the Master’s death, the dissolution of his community, and the tragic destruction of much of his teaching.
