PORTRAYING PHILOSOPHER HYPATIA(350/370-415)

There's just staggering amount of nude
statues and paintings of philosopher Hypatia
captive before her murder by Christian
monks in Alexandria in 415. There's two ways
of looking at them; one is that they are
softcore bondage pornography, the other
that it's science and paganism that
get a lovely martyr, that Zealots
kill beauty, mind and body.
