Pay no attention to what the critics say; there has never been a statue erected to a critic. This is what Finnish composer Sibelius used to say. I read between the lines and agree, but can't help noticing the following: Sibelius was a composer, not a sculptor. Why was he so focused on statues? He must have wanted one for himself.
People show their appreciation in several ways:
a) erecting statues to you,
b) dedicating poems, books, songs or symphonies to you,
c) naming something after you, which is even better.
Long story short, without knowing what Pythagoras looked like, we know what the Pythagorean theorem looks like.
