Who is Cyril of Alexander?
St Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria from 412 to 444 is the murder of Hypatia, the last Platonic Philosopher and a teacher of Mathematics. In 415, Cyril had lost the confidence of the Egyptian Prefect, Orestes after egregiously exceeding his authority by robbing and exiling all the Jews who had lived without persecution in Alexandria from the time of Emperor Claudius (about AD 10). Orestes refused to be reconciled with Cyril and so Cyril decided that this was because of the influence of Orestes' mathematics teacher, Hypatia, instead of being due to his own evil actions. Well, the only proper thing for a Christian to do, obviously, was to have Hypatia murdered. As she rode through the city one day in her chariot, a mob of Parabalani, incided by Cyril's pet Nitrian monks, stopped her chariot, dragged her from it, stripped her naked, flayed the skin from her body with sharpened oyster shells, hacked her body into pieces and burned the pieces outside the city walls. You can watch this account play itself out in the recent movie: "Agora", which stars Rachel Weisz as Hypatia and Sami Samir as Cyril. In payment for his despicable murder of Hypatia, Cyril was declared a saint and doctor of the church. Look up the biography of Hypatia of Alexandria at the Mac tutor's history of mathematics of st andrew's university in Scotland.
