Alexandria, 391 AD: Hypatia teaches astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy. Her student Orestes is in love with her, as is Davus, her personal slave. As the citys Christians, led by Ammonius and Cyril, gain political power, the institutions of learning may crumble along with the governance of slavery. Jump ahead 20 years: Orestes, the citys prefect, has an uneasy peace with the Christians, led by Cyril. A group from the newly empowered Christians has now taken to enforce their cultural hegemony zealously; first they see the Jews as their obstacle, then nonbelievers. Hypatia has no interest in faith; shes concerned about the movement of celestial bodies and "the brotherhood of all". Although her former slave doesnt see it that way.
In the late 4th century AD, the Roman Empire is in its dying days, and in the city of Alexandria, Hypatia teaches astronomy, philosophy and mathematics. Davus, her servant and unrequited lover, turns to Christianity, which has become the dominant religion in the waning empire, in the hopes of pursuing freedom.
