We all hunt for inspiration from time to time and some of the best places are of history itself. It can be difficult to sift through it all without knowing exactly what to look up. So, what have you guys found during your late night research grinding sessions?
As tribute, I recently learned of Hypatia: A mathematician and philosopher of Alexandria. After becoming the head of a Neoplatonist School, she taught knowledge of Plato and Aristotle to students, including pagans, Christians, and foreigners. During an episode of city-wide anger stemming from a feud between Orestes, the prefect of Alexandria, and Cyril, the Bishop of Alexandria, Hypatia was murdered.
