Each day before her academy stood a long train of chariots; her lecture-room was crowded with the wealth and fashion of Alexandria.

They came to listen to her discourses on those questions which man in all ages has asked, but which never yet have been answered: "What am I?
Where am I?
What can I know ?" Hypatia and Cyril! Philosophy and bigotry.

They cannot exist together.
So Cyril felt, and on that feeling he acted.

As Hypatia repaired to her academy, she was assaulted by Cyril's mob--a mob of many monks.

Stripped naked in the street, she was dragged into a church, and there killed by the club of Peter the Reader.
