Pythagoras lived on the Greek island of Samos 582 - 500 BC. Around that time, Rome was a just a very small town and Alexander the Great was not born until 150 years later. Greece only consisted of lots of small city states, and these were not a political unity at that time.
It is highly unlikely he received any awards for his work while he lived. There was no custom of giving awards in that time either, nor were there (inter)national organizations that attributed awards of any kind.

Pythagoras stole the Pythagoras theorem from the Indians.
Just search wikipedia for Pythagoras Theorem.
