Think about this subject: Following Rome, comes the new historical drama Agora (meaning market). Alexandria, 391: Hypatia teaches astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy. Her student Orestes is in love with her as is Davus, her personal slave. As the citys Christians, led by Ammonius and Cyril, gain political power, the great institutions of learning and governance may not survive. Jump ahead 20 years: Orestes, the citys prefect, has an uneasy peace with Christians, led by Cyril. The Christians enforce public morality; first they see the Jews as their obstacle, then women. Hypatia has no interest in faith; shes concerned about the movement of celestial bodies and the brotherhood of all. What place is there for her? https://youtube/watch?v=uOXKF1mb9Hc It is still happening to other people now :(
