>Pythagorean School
"He adapted a cave where he studied and lived day and night, discoursing with a few of his associates"
"There were ascetic practices"
"The members of the sect showed a devoted attachment to each other, to the exclusion of those who did not belong to their ranks."
"The rigorism of the ritual and ethical observances demanded of the members is unparalleled in early Greece"

They also were a religious sect, who killed a guy (Hippasus of Metapontum) who proved the nonnegative square root of 2 to be irrational basically shattering their established holy dogma, as per Pappus.

There was a guy apparently named Pappus who wrote of the murder of a Pythagorean who proved sqrt2 was irrational. You can't disprove this, even if you go on David Mikkelson's fraudulent truth arbitrating scam Snopes

There is no evidence for it my friend. It is a myth and/or intentional fiction, just like 80% of info you'll find about the "Pythagorean school" is.
