Some of my comments from 21 August 2021:
/// Sage Hypatia, seen here at the altar,
just before Christian mobs would assault her,
was exceedingly wise,
yet they gouged out her eyes.
What’s her crime? “She’s a pagan!” they fault her.
/// Alexandria was where she taught
all the great Philosophical thought.
By the mob she was caught,
to a church she was brought,
and stripped naked while vainly she fought.
/// She was murdered and torn limb from limb.
Bishop Cyril— some say to blame him.
But its cruelly ironic,
that this genius Platonic,
brains and beauty, but dead on a whim.
