HBICs of history » H y p a t i a

Hypatia (ca. 351–370 AD) was a Greek philosopher and the daughter of Theon of Alexandria, who taught her mathematics. About 400 AD she became head of the Platonist school at Alexandria, where she lectured on the philosophy known as Neoplatonism. This combined Plato’s ideas with a mix of Christian, Jewish, and East Asian influences and emphasized striving for an unreachable ultimate reality. Her edition of Euclid’s Elements, prepared with her father, became the basis for all later versions. Christians deemed her philosophical views pagan - one day, in March 415 AD, during Lent, a mob of Christians led by Peter the Reader, waylaid Hypatia’s chariot as she travelled home.The mob attacked Hypatia, stripped her naked as a form of humiliation, then dragged her through the streets to the recently Christianised Caesareum, where they killed her.

She is considered to be the first woman of any importance in the history of mathematics.

Aran Island children on the way to school. The boys wore skirts due to a local belief that the Sidhe (people from the underworld) snatched male infants more often than females.

(Maybe I’ve read too much fiction with faeries, but I’m pretty sure the Sídhe don’t care about the silly fashion conventions of silly mortals and just abduct the ones who look prettiest.)

girlwiththequeentattoo:

it makes everything sound so clinical and absurd.

Some of my favorites, from the SEXUAL CONTENT heading:

“Two men wear sleeveless costumes that reveal bare, muscular arms.”

“A man and a woman kiss.”

“A woman whispers something into a man’s ear seductively (the man smiles and another man who is present looks around awkwardly).”

Oh, and of course:
“A superhero wears a very fitted costume that accentuates his broad chest and shoulders.”
Awwwww yeah.


And from ALCOHOL/DRUGS:

“A man pours himself a drink (and drinks) and offers an alien deity one (he declines at first, but asks for the drink later).”


LMAO. I can’t.

As the warning sirens sound, and the world is at an end
Render unto night creations torn asunder
What will become of us if there’s no-one to watch over us?
There’ll be no laughter, there’ll be no tears
When tomorrow never comes
