NOTES TO PYTHAGORAS. 175
Note E, page 170.
Thus shall the soul, when left this mortal home,
Thro' regions pure of sublime raptures roam.
The text runs thus,—"Ην δ' ἀπολείψας σῶμα ἐς ἀιθέρ' ἐλεύθερον ἔλθης, ἔσσεαι ἀθάνατος θεὸς ἀμβροτος, οὐκ ἔτι θνητός. But, if you leave the body, you shall pass into the pure ether, you shall be immortal, an incorruptible God, no longer mortal.
Pythagoras, like Socrates, and others of the ancient philosophers, was a firm believer in the immortality of the soul.
THE END.
