  • Summary

  • In Episode 7 of Season 17 of the 5 Minute Biographies podcast, we explore the life and legacy of Hypatia of Alexandria, a pioneering mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer whose intellect and teachings made her one of the most remarkable figures of the ancient world. Living during a time of great political and religious turmoil, Hypatia's dedication to knowledge and reason left an indelible mark on history, even as her tragic death symbolised the growing conflict between science and religious dogmatism. Join us as we uncover the story of Hypatia, a woman whose contributions continue to inspire scholars and thinkers to this day.
