There are few women whose legacies have been more of a political football than Hypatia of Alexandria. She was not only possibly the last scientist with access to the books of the Library of Alexandria, but the first female mathematician in recorded history. She also was an expert astronomer, philosopher, physicist, and overachiever. Unfortunately, Hypatia was killed by a mob of Christian zealots in particularly grisly fashion, turning her life story into a point of contention for centuries to come.

We don't know a ton about Hypatia for sure, but we do know that, unlike a lot of women at the time, she was firmly in charge of her own life. By most accounts, she never married (although she turned down many proposals), instead becoming headmaster at the contemporary equivalent of Yale. She regularly met with the town magistrates, who all agreed that she knew what she was talking about. According to one account, she would regularly walk into the middle of town and engage random pedestrians in discussions about Plato and Aristotle, like the world's most hyper-educated sidewalk busker.

The problem was, Alexandria at the time was politically unstable, resulting in a lot of people wilding out on the regular. A months-long series of incidents (originally stemming from Jews dancing too much - seriously) had ended up with two sects at each others' throats. On one side, you had the town prefect, Orestes, who was basically trying to keep the peace. On the other side, you had the bishop of the town church, Cyril, who was trying to look after his own. Cyril had recently undermined Orestes' power by expelling all the Jews from the city (they'd killed a bunch of Christians, and maybe burnt down a church? it's complicated). In any event, Orestes was all, "respect my authoritah," Cyril was like, "whatever," the two started butting heads, and thus: wilding out.

Evidently these guys could give up meat for six weeks, but not murder.

Hypatia got dragged into the middle of this when Orestes started seeking out her advice - because she was, as has been established, a capital-s Smart Lady. The mob under Cyril latched on a rumor that she was prolonging the conflict by giving Orestes bad advice, so they did what mobs do: went to her house (in some accounts, her classroom), stripped her naked, and killed her. The translation here is subject to debate, but the instrument of her death was either roof tiles or sharpened oyster shells. Many of the "oyster shell" camp interpret the story as the mob using it to flay off her skin (ugh), apparently to prevent her soul from reaching the afterlife. Afterwards, her remains were burnt and scattered around the city.

And this happened during Lent. Evidently these guys could give up meat for six weeks, but not murder.

After Hypatia's death, her story gets seized upon almost immediately, with many warping her into whatever figure suited their agenda:
1) 500s: Byzantine historian Damascius - "She was the last Hellenic intellectual!"
This guy claimed that Alexandria fell into an anti-intellectual slump almost right after she died. In reality, the intellectual climate there continued for a number of years, although Hypatia's life did mark its last peak. From his writings, I get the impression that Damascius was falling into the "back in the day everything was better, kids these days are terrible" fallacy. He also provides a really bizarre anecdote of Hypatia warding off a student who had a crush on her by waving her menstrual rag in front of him and saying, "I'm not so beautiful all the time." He holds this up as a symbol of chaste virtue, which is... well, different.
2) 600s: John of Nikiu - "She was the devil!"
John of Nikiu corroborates the main facts about Hypatia's story, but adds in a lot of flavor text about her "Satanic wiles," her devotion to "magic, astrolabes, and instruments of music," and adds that she had "beguiled [Orestes] through her magic." He characterized the mob lynching as the glorious eradication of the last remains of idolatry in the city.
3) 1788: Edward Gibbon: "Cyril was just jealous!"
In Gibbons' telling, Cyril was jealous that everyone liked Hypatia, and, it's implied, had a total crush on her and thus spread the rumor that incited a mob to kill her. Because that's what you do when you like someone.
4) 1853: Charles Kingsley - "Catholics are awful, and I'll tell you why in my erotic fanfic!"
Kingsley wrote a novel about Hypatia's life, in which he sexes her up, makes her a helpless heathen-to-be-saved, and uses her story to rail against the Catholic church. The book carries the distinction of being described by The Oxford Companion to English Literature as "ferociously racist."
5) 1980: Carl Sagan - "She was a pagan intellectual martyr!"
Here's where the modern resurgence of Hypatia's fame largely stems from. What Sagan says about Hypatia in Cosmos (both book and TV series) is factually accurate, if a bit inflammatory. Where he gets a little outside the realm of straight fact is where he characterizes the conflict as one of pagan intellectualism versus Christian mob mentality. It overlooks a couple things:

Hypatia taught both Christians and pagans all the time. By all contemporary accounts, neither group had particular issues with her lessons. John of Nikiu's burn-the-witch hysterics came over a century later.

The real conflict was between Cyril and Orestes, and they were both Christian.

There's no actual evidence connecting Cyril to her death.

He also implies her death was a predecessor the destruction of the Library of Alexandria, a claim for which there's not much support (most people date its destruction to partway through her lifetime at the very latest, probably centuries earlier).

6) 2009: Amenabar: "One woman stands between civilization and chaos!"
There was a wildly exaggerated movie called Agora about her life, the trailer for which claims she, uh, tried to unite all of mankind. It didn't do very well. But hey. Rachel Weisz!

She was a victim of politics by being the wrong person, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Basically, what you should take away from it is this: she was a victim of politics by being the wrong person, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. It is entirely probable that she might not have been killed were she not an intellectual, or not a pagan, or not a woman - but that's all speculation and we may never know for sure.

What's sad is that, likely because of the vilification prior to her death, none of her works survive to present day. While many of her students went on to make important contributions to mathematics and other scientific fields, we'll never know what she herself contributed. Based off of the available evidence, we can infer that she was helping to discover and hammer out the sort of math that one learns about toward the end of high school nowadays - which may flip her from hero to villain in your mind, depending on how you did in linear algebra.

From Gulliver's Travels

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gulliver's Travels is a novel written by Jonathan Swift. It is currently published by the Penguin Group. Books like Gulliver's Travels are an integral part of language arts curriculum. This story follows a man by the name of Lemuel Gulliver, who has a love for traveling that often gets him in to troublesome situations.

The story begins with Lemuel Gulliver taking his first journey at sea after his business as a surgeon does not prove profitable. In the first voyage, Gulliver is shipwrecked on the island of Lilliput, which is inhabited by little people. After being convicted of treason, Gulliver escapes. He begins a second voyage, which lands him on the island of Brobdingnag. This island is full of giants who use Gulliver for their own amusement. Again, Gulliver escapes.

Gulliver's Travel's summary continues when Gulliver takes two more voyages. In the last voyage, Gulliver is banished from the country of Houyhnhnms because he is not a horse like the other creatures.

This book is important for children to read because it reveals the differences between various cultures and religions. The book also examines humans as individuals, and humans as part of a community.

This Gulliver's Travels passage reveals Gulliver's view that the justice system in England is corrupt. "I said there was a society of men among us, bred up from their youth in the art of proving by words multiplied for the purpose, that white is black, and black is white, according as they are paid. To this society all the rest of the people are slaves."

Another Gulliver's Travel passage demonstrates Gulliver's disdain for philosophers who were more concerned with knowledge than helping those who were living in poverty and struggling to survive. ". . . there is nothing so extravagant and irrational which some philosophers have not maintained for truth."

Since Gulliver's Travels is a novel meant to be read by high school students, teachers can organize a few fun word games to go along with the book. First, teachers can break the students up in to four groups. Each group can create an island map based on one of Gulliver's four voyages. The map should represent the type of people and their culture as described in the book. Literature printable worksheets can help students retain information they have read. Additionally, teachers can put together a Gulliver's Travels spelling list and students can use this list to practice not only their spelling, but also their knowledge of the book. Finally, students can get together to play the Gulliver's Travels board game produced by Milton and Bradley.

Mission to the Moon
On July 16 1969, after a breakfast of steak and eggs, Neil Armstrong and his crew mates, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, blasted off on their mission to land on the Moon.
Their Saturn V rocket was the most powerful machine ever built. It was 110 metres tall and had as much power as a nuclear bomb.

After launch, it took four days to travel over 200,000 miles to the Moon. When they arrived, Neil's job was to fly the lunar module called Eagle and land it safely. It was incredibly risky; however, with just seconds of fuel left, Neil reported back "the Eagle has landed".

Neil and Buzz then opened the hatch and climbed out. Back on Earth, more than half a billion people watched on television, waiting to hear what Neil would say:

"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

Neil and Buzz spent nearly three hours walking on the Moon. They conducted important scientific experiments, collected samples and took photographs.

When it was time for them to return, Neil and Buzz left the surface to rejoin Michael who had been orbiting the Moon in a separate module. All three then made the journey back to Earth, before safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean. Mission complete!
