How was hypatia brave?

Hypatia was more likely a victim of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, rather than being a martyr for any particular religious or political belief. She was accused of causing a rift between the Prefect of Alexandria & the Bishop of Alexandria. Initially, the Christians who killed Hypatia were actually going to kill the Prefect, until they learned that he was a Christian. So they turned on Hypatia instead.
