Who was Hypatia, Lady Philosopher of Alexandria?
A brilliant young woman mathematician and scientist, murdered by a religious mob? An aging academic assassinated by a rival political party? A sorceress who kept the governor and people of Alexandria in thrall through satanic wiles? Did she discover that the earth circled the sun a thousand years before Copernicus or was she merely a gifted geometry teacher?
Hypatia is the subject of much myth-making through the centuries. She’s featured in poetry, plays, novels and movies. This collection of essays pulls back the curtain and lets the reader see the real woman behind the stories. You’ll find Hypatia needs no embellishment to be a heroine.

This like many biographical subjects from ancient time periods was I'm sure hard to piece together. I think that F.L. Justice did "justice" to the subject by piecing together an extremely tattered and disconnected history of Hypathia. People, from any time period, have show the ability to be creative and embellish histories or events. We can never be sure what transpired in her life fully simply because we are trapped in the present with no real ability to look back.Product details

Hypatia Her Life and Times eBook Faith L Justice Reviews
Some interesting facts well researched. Good insite to Hypatia. But one great error. Author states “Hypatia taught Plato Aristotle. NoWay! They lived nearly 1,000-1,200 years before Hypatia. I would offer Hypatia read their texts and they I turn influenced her. Terrible mistake!
I enjoyed it, a part of me wishes it was longer, but it kept my interest through the whole thing
Interesting reading.
I made a mistake in getting this book. It was not worth reading and a total waste of time. I was attracted by the title and did not bother to read the sample first.
This was a real disappointment. The work comprises mainly blogs previously published by the author. It is consistently repetitive, poorly referenced, and provides very little original insight into the topic indicated by the title. Also, one does not buy such a product in order to read all about the author's personal journey. A total waste of money.
The book arrived timely and as described. Enjoyed the first few pages I've read so far. I would say the text is well written. I recommend the book to all those interested in the late third and early fourth century Alexandria, Egypt, and to those who simply enjoy the occasional trip to the past. Thank you, Gerald
I was reading everything I could get my hands on about Hypatia and stopped reading this book to take up some of the author's historical sourse. When I picked it up again, I was able to appreciate her interpretive approach. She complements the other available sources beautifully and they all corroborate her interpretation. Hypatia's non-confessional platonism was no threat to anyone. The circumstances of her death have overshadowed the story of how she lived.
