Hypatia of Alexandria was the last of the great Greek philosophers of antiquity. The daughter of Theon the mathematician, she far surpassed her father, becoming the greatest philosopher of her time. She suffered a cruel death. In the year 415 AD, as she was returning home, she was dragged from her carriage by a Christian mob. She was taken to a church called Caesareum, stripped naked, and had her flesh torn apart by oyster shells. They took her mangled body to a place called Cinaron and burnt her.
