Pythagoreanism is a term used for the religious and metaphysical beliefs held by Pythagoras and his followers the Pythagoreans, much influenced by mathematics and probably a main inspiration source to Plato and platonism.

One main subject that is part of pythagoreanism is musica universalis, the music of the spheres.

Later resurgence of the same ideas are collected under the term neopythagoreanism.
