'Hypatia' Summary
Hypatia is a historical novel that explores the conflict between Christianity and paganism in 5th-century Alexandria. The story follows Philammon, a young monk who leaves his desert monastery to seek a life of religious devotion in the city.

Philammon encounters a variety of characters, including Hypatia, a renowned philosopher and mathematician; Cyril, the bishop of Alexandria; and a band of Goths who have recently arrived in the city.
