Works of Theon of Smyrna were strongly influenced by Pythagoras, the Greek philosopher and mathematician known for what?
Theon of Smyrna Theon of Smyrna (Greek: Θέων ο Σμυρναίος "Theon o Smyrneos", "gen." Θέωνος "Theonos"; fl. 100 CE) was a Greek philosopher and mathematician, whose works were strongly influenced by the Pythagorean school of thought. His surviving "On Mathematics Useful for the Understanding of Plato" is an introductory survey of Greek mathematics.
Eurytus (Pythagorean) Eurytus ( ; Greek: Εὔρυτος ; fl. 400 BC), was an eminent Pythagorean philosopher who Iamblichus in one passage describes as a native of Croton, while in another, he enumerates him among the Tarentine Pythagoreans. He was a disciple of Philolaus, and Diogenes Laërtius mentions him among the teachers of Plato, though this statement is very doubtful. It is uncertain whether Eurytus was the author of any work, unless we suppose that the fragment in Stobaeus, which is there ascribed to one Eurytus, belongs to this Eurytus.
