| | From Myth To Mind |
| | Since this is quite unusual for a Greek sanctuary, it would seem that archaic Samos had a special trading relationship with the island of the eastern Mediterranean, which has up to now been substantiated by no other sources. | | | After the collapse of the Ionian uprising (499 - 494 B.C.), Samos was externally spared due to the good political conduct of the Persians. | | | After the death of Polycrates and the ensuing struggles for power among his successors, the political and economic power of Samos began to decline. |

| | Darius of Persia had taken control of Samos after Polycrates' death and he would have controlled the island on Pythagoras's return. | | | This was, according to Iamblichus, used in part as an excuse for Pythagoras to leave Samos:- | | | In about 520 BC Pythagoras left Babylon and returned to Samos. |

| | But as they sailed back to Samos, Polycrates' ships met them and joined battle; and the returning Samians gained the day and landed on the island, but were there worsted in a land battle, and so sailed to Lacedaemon. | | | Then the Samians took from the men of Hermione, instead of money, the island Hydrea which is near to Peloponnesus, and gave it in charge to men of Troezen; they themselves settled at Cydonia in Crete, though their voyage had been made with no such intent, but rather to drive Zacynthians out of the island. | | | This the Aeginetans did out of a grudge against the Samians, who had begun the quarrel; for when 75 Amphicrates was king of Samos they had sent an army against Aegina, whereby now the Samians and now the Aeginetans had suffered great harm. |
