They also believed that some numbers were more divine or mystical than others and gave special meanings to different numbers. They believed, for example, that a number could represent justice or wisdom. The holiest number of all was "tetractys" or ten, a triangular number composed of the sum of one, two, three and four. It is a great tribute to the Pythagoreans' intellectual achievements that they deduced the special place of the number 10 from an abstract mathematical argument rather than from something as ...
