Pythagoras, who invented the Pythagoras Theorem, was a cult leader who claimed he could speak with animals, time travel, and had an extreme hatred for Fava Beans. He believed you should never eat fava beans because they give you gas, and expelling gas took away the "breath of life." At the same time, he claimed fava beans contained human souls. He fought against their consumption or destruction. One account of his death claims that he would not enter a bean field to escape pursuers, so they killed him.
