Hypatia lived and died as a humanist among religious zealots.
Hypatia of Alexandria researches the heavens and explores the
everlasting questions of our existence when the Church preaches
there is no need to probe into the nature of things.
She imparts new knowledge to the world when the churchmen counsel
women to seek knowledge from their husbands.
She tutors Jews, Christians and Pagans while men of different
religions wage wars.
Her feud with the Church reaches a climax during a debate with the
Patriarch of Alexandria who believes the pagan scrolls of the Royal
Alexandrian Library prevent the populace from accepting
Christianity.
"If we torch the pagan scrolls of the Library," the Patriarch
proclaims during the debate, "we would uproot the weeds of
confusion in God's New Jerusalem."
"In the Elysian Fields," Hypatia retorts, "myriad flowers bloom
and Truth, like the flowers is registered in the scrolls of the
Library. If the half a million nonChristian scrolls are torched
mankind, without a memory, would descend into darkness."
Hypatia's feud at the dawn of the fifth century CE is our feud too
because her foes under different names are ever present.
