Sámos is a Greek island and town in the Aegean Sea. Sámos was the birthplace of the philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras and the seat of a school of sculptors.[1]
Many civilizations have inhabited this small Aegean island, near Asia Minor, since the 3rd millennium B.C. The remains of Pythagoreion, an ancient fortified port with Greek and Roman monuments and a spectacular tunnel-aqueduct, as well as the Heraion, temple of the Samian Hera, can still be seen.[2]
