About this listen

Leo steps into the vibrant yet volatile Alexandria of 415 CE to meet Hypatia, philosopher-mathematician and advisor to rulers. Across bustling streets and quiet study halls, Hypatia reveals the meaning behind her legendary intellect, recounts moments of laughter and peril, and reflects candidly on science, faith, political intrigue, and the cost of wisdom in a divided world. Their conversation uncovers never-told stories, hard truths about persecution, and lessons that echo through the centuries.
