Hypatia
John Toland
Read by Rita Boutros
Hypatia is John Toland's biography of the one he calls "a most beautiful, most vertuous, most learned, and every way accomplish’d lady, who was torn to pieces by the clergy of Alexandria, to gratify the pride, emulation, and cruelty of their Archbishop, commonly but undeservedly stiled St. Cyril." - Summary by Leni (1 hr 6 min)

Reviews
extremely mysigynist
Bill Cosby
The title purported to aggrandize this old white female because she was beautiful and smart. The problem is beauty and intelligence are attributes of western hegemonic imperialism used to oppress other races that are deemed less pretty and less beautiful and intelligent. Also the 'beautiful' attributes of Hypatia no doubt recapitulate the western males ideas of beauty. So to sum it up this bitch is evil, deserved to be killed, and represented values that contributed to George Floyd's death. Black lives matter. Down with western civilization. Down with Greece and Platonic idealism
