I find it rather fascinating that both of the big Italian presocratics were later cast as miracle workers. The tradition through which this knowledge survives is highly questionable, of course, and other philosophers as well as poets also were cast similarly. I nevertheless have to wonder if there wasn't some kind of weird cult building going on in the intellectual circles of Magna Graecia.
