      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.

      It is not about ethnic, it is about Culture my friend. My humble oppinion. 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 !!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @WildMen4444
      @WildMen4444 4 месяца назад

      I mean, she was never Christian. She was raised Pagan and always was Pagan. You can't turn your back on something that you never were a part of

    Suddenly... you know that there were huge riots in Alexandria around that time period where there were atrocities from all sides, Jews, Pagans and Christians instead of what you presented.
    Her assassination wasn't because of religion but politically motivated if she supported a figure in the power struggle of the city.
    There's no actual evidence who murderers the were, no eyewitness accounts but yes the best assumption is that the bishop ordered her assassination...
    The decline of Alexandria wasn't because of loss of a single woman...but rather a slow process that took centuries to complete.
    Another thing is that how people love to credit Hypatia with theories and inventions that existed centuries before her birth
    Apparently she was great at everything...an extremely beautiful,
    full of wisdom
    great teacher,
    talented orator,
    astronomer, mathematician,
    philosopher,
    poet,
    Inventor,
    What not...
    although there's very little actual evidence how great she was in these subjects because like I said most of her inventions were already invented.
    It's almost like various people love filling in the blanks with what they want her to be instead of what she was

      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.

    One idea that no one entertains is whether Hypatia deserved a violent death. (Before anyone starts clutching their pearls, recall that many people would begrudgingly admit that the French aristocrats in 1792, say, "had it coming".) Elevated as a rationalist and feminist martyr, she has received a glossy shield of apologistic protection. She is a bipedal sacred cow. In the same way, everyone ignores Galileo's falseness and backstabbing and receives the interpretation of the inquiry into his science from biased sources. As well, the violence of the Alexandrian monks was not necessarily approved hy the best elements in the local church. (See The Sayings of the Desert Fathers, editor Benedicta Ward.)
