I'm writing a paper for my Western civilization class on Pythagoreanism...?

What should I include? Obviously I'll include Pythagoras, but what else is there that would make a good paper on it? I'll include the philosophies, and do a sum of all that I find. But does anybody know of anything I should pay particular attention to?

Also, some good, trustworthy sources would be greatly appreciated!

    Do your paper on the neo-Pythagoreanism that existed in the first and second centuries and how it contributed to the creation of Christianity. Be sure to follow the connections to Apollonius and the Gnostics. I found the connections and influences to be very interesting.

    Speak concerning the innovations, innovations, and intellectuals of the Roman Empire up unless the Enlightenment of the renaissance. In actual fact, just talk about all the major matters they've contributed to present day society.
