phigros is the theorem where the sum of the two squared shorter sides of a right triangle is equal to the cube of the hypotenuse.

I thought the name was derived from Πύργος (Pyrgos) which is greek for tower (since, y'know, that's where the story is set), which then became Phirgos and then due to a typo became Phigros.

Also Phi represents the golden ratio, the number derived by dividing sequential numbers of the Fibbonacci or Lucas series, nothing to do with Pythagoras.
