We see here the view expressed that socially as well as intellectually the Druids lived according to the Pythagorean philosophy.

Origen also refers to the view that was prevalent in his time, that Zamolxis, the servant of Pythagoras, had taught the Druids the philosophy of Pythagoras.

He further states that the Druids practised sorcery.

The triple division of the non-military aristocracy is perhaps best given by Strabo, the Greek geographer, who here follows Posidonius.
The three classes are the Bards, the Seers (ouateis=vates), and Druids.
The Bards were hymn-writers and poets, the Seers sacrificers and men of science, while the Druids, in addition to natural science, practised also moral philosophy.

They were regarded as the justest of men, and on this account were intrusted with the settlement of private and public disputes.
