Unreliable translation
This version has less to do with Pythagorus and the Pythagorean Life and more to do with British nationalism and Catholicism. The translator even makes clear that he has taken big "liberties" with the translation and this version bears little little resemblance to the print version I have. It does not reflect ancient Greek philosophy much less the foundation of Ethics but it is valid within a British and Christian context. I am sorely disappointed.
