Schuré imagines the Greece of the sixth century BC after Orpheus, then follows Pythagoras through his initiation and the founding of his school at Croton, where disciples, women among them, met at night to learn his doctrine of numbers, the soul and the cosmos. It is a visionary reconstruction rather than scholarly history.
