What sets Number 2 Meaning apart
Two is the first number that can be divided and the first even number, so Pythagorean writers took it for the dyad: the split from the one into pairs, opposites and reflections. It is also 1 + 1, the first sum. In numerology it is the number of pairs and balance,, and its master form is 11.
- Greek name: the dyad
- Parity: the first and only even prime
- Arithmetic: 1 + 1, and 2 × 2 = 2 + 2
- Letters: B, K and T in the Pythagorean table
Often mistaken for something else: Number 1 is the undivided source; 2 is the first division of it into a pair.
