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 an elite group of students who transformed Alexandria into one of the most renowned centers of research in antiquity. In 415, Hypatia fell victim to repeated rapes, torture, and dismemberment 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 privileged intelligence that challenged the darkness of her time.

Pedro Galveth, who inherited from his father the passion for science and admiration for Hypatia, now presents us with this wonderful portrait of an exceptional woman who was condemned to live in an era that even the gods do not want to remember.
