This book is a historical mystery novel that uncovers the truth about historical facts and the deaths of several mathematicians set in ancient Greece. One day, the body of a student of Pythagoras’ school rises in the sea. The protagonist enters the school to investigate the death, but behind the sage who was called the father of truth, there was a huge conspiracy.
This book is an intellectual novel that adds surprising imaginations to unique subjects such as the Pythagorean theorem and irrational numbers. Starting from the provocative premise that the Pythagorean theorem is not actually his achievement, it realistically shows the downfall of Pythagoras, who killed his disciples to make a truth, that was revealed a thousand years ago, his own achievement.
