Pythagoras, of Rhegium, a noted Greek sculptor of the 5th century B.C., a contemporary of Myron and Polyclitus, and their rival in making statues of athletes. He was born at Samos and migrated in his youth to Rhegium in Italy.

He is said to have introduced improvements in the rendering of muscles, veins and hair.
