I wish it was so simple, Socrates for example was killed by pagans for corrupting the youth with different beliefs, also think how many were killed for ideologies in the past century, regardless religion, ideology etc humans find an excuse to kill those who are different or threatening them with their character, unfortunately is in our nature 😔
No she wasn't. She was killed because she supported Orestes (a christian) instead of Cyril (another christian). Cyril's supporters killed her because there was a rumour she was preventing Orestes and Cyril coming to peace. This rumour was untrue.
There is no indication that it was because Hypatia was a pagan. In fact, we don't actually know what her religion was. There is also no evidence that it was because she was a woman. And that wouldn't make much sense anyway given that just a few years later another famous female pagan philosopher, Aedisia, flourished in Alexandria with no problems from angry mobs. Nor is there any evidence it was because she was a mathematician and astronomer. Attempts at making this a case of hatred of women, hatred of science or hatred of learning are almost entirely modern fantasies, though they seem to get repeated endlessly, especially online. Finally, despite what a certain astronomer claimed in a 1980s TV series on science, her murder had zero to do with the Great Library of Alexandria, which had ceased to exist before she was even born.
Thank you for sharing this. It always hurts to hear how women have been treated throughout the years of our being. But, the education is needed
She was killed for being so called pagan. Shame on religion which divide human's into believers and non-believers

Simply false

She was not murdered for being an intelligent woman. She was murdered for associating with the prefect Orestes.
