Hypatia of Alexandria - The Brightest Mathematician of Antiquity

Hypatia of Alexandria was a philosopher and mathematician in the 4th century. She was renowned in her time for her knowledge and studies, excelling in astronomy and mathematics. Her murder by fanatical Christians marked the end of the era of free classical thought.

    It is a Greek name, Greek culture and She wrote in Greek. What do you guess ? She is my Heroine. A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates.

    A woman with a Greek name studying Greek philosophy in a city founded by Alexander the Great. The likelihood of her being anything other than an ethnic Greek is slim to none

    Realy? By whom?The ignorant? Were there many Women Philosophers, Poetesses, Mathematitians, Physisists... in Alexandria in 4th century CE who weren't of the Greek Culture? Demetrios.

    Yes, the film Agora is fine ! Director Alejandro Amenabar and Hypatίa is Rachel Weisz ! And Hypatia, wich means in Greek Supreme, is my Heroine... A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates. (Oh, don't forget the book of Pedro Galvez from wich comes the scenario of the film.) She was a Poetess too !!!

    Hopefully, they were punished. Or if not, hopefully somebody in power later condemned their actions. That death was brutal and shameful.

    Have you wondered where Dante would have placed Hypatia? In logic I would say Limbo but in faith I say Dis/Heresy, because she has, more than once, directly and voluntarily turned her back on Christ.

    I pray that she is dining with the heroes. I watched that movie Agora about her and I couldn't talk to anyone for the whole day. I already knew what happened to her (and the movie actually toned it way down) but seeing it in action and hearing things coming from the mouths of the characters stuff I have heard in real life made me want to flip a lid.

    No. She didn't hate men. She just wanted to focus on philosophy. She worked with plenty of men who considered her to be a sister, mother, teacher, and friend.

    It was thanks to the movie Agora, I found out about the wonderful actor Oscar Isaac as one of Hypatia’s loyal student and ally. The way Oscar Isaac tries to reason with the violent Christian mobs and protect Hypatia was so tragic and moving.

    A captivating tribute to Hypatia of Alexandria, a true trailblazer in the world of mathematics. This video beautifully highlights her brilliance and the enduring legacy she left behind in the ancient world. It's inspiring to learn about her contributions to mathematics and philosophy, especially considering the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated society. Hypatia's story is a testament to the power of intellect and resilience.
