Hypatia, daughter of the mathematician and astronomer Theon, the last director of the Museum of Alexandria, was born in the mid-4th century AD. She quickly surpassed Theon in knowledge and taught a select group of students, transforming Alexandria into one of the most renowned research centers of antiquity. In 415, Hypatia fell victim to repeated rapes, was tortured, and dismembered by a group of fanatical Christians acting under the orders of the city's patriarch. However, her name has traversed History, and we remember her today as a symbol of a privileged intelligence that challenged the obscurantism of her time. Pedro Galvez, who inherited from his father a passion for science and admiration for Hypatia, now offers us this marvelous portrait of an extraordinary woman who was condemned to live in an era that even the gods do not want to remember.
