Pythagoras and the Delphic Mysteries

Pythagoras and the Delphic Mysteries is a book by Édouard Schuré, first published in 1898. This esoteric and philosophical work offers a dramatized and spiritualized account of the life of Pythagoras, presenting him not only as a mathematician and philosopher but also as an initiate into the ancient mysteries of Delphi and other sacred traditions.

Drawing on mystic insight and historical imagination, Schuré explores the inner teachings of Pythagorean thought, its links to reincarnation, harmony, and cosmic order, and its role in shaping Western esotericism. The book serves as both a biographical study and a meditation on the hidden spiritual wisdom of the ancient world.
