  1. Déségyptianiser Pythagore, en l’indianisant un peu, permet en plus d’accroître son rayonnement et d’en faire un Sage aux dimensions du monde, comme Apollonios son successeur (au moins tel qu’il est rêvé par Philostrate, engagé lui aussi dans une défense et illustration de l’identité culturelle grecque).
