Hypatia
Hypatia (born c. 350–370, died 415 AD) was a Neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician in Alexandria, Egypt.
She was a prominent teacher and wrote commentaries on the works of Diophantus and Apollonius. Hypatia was known as a wise advisor and had significant influence over the political elite in Alexandria. She was murdered in 415 AD by a Christian mob during a conflict between the prefect Orestes and the bishop Cyril.
Hypatia's death shocked the empire and made her a martyr for philosophy. She later became a symbol for various movements, including opposition to Catholicism during the Enlightenment and women's rights in the 20th century. Some modern portrayals incorrectly link her death to the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, despite the fact that the library no longer existed during her lifetime.
