2. Describe the Christians' treament of Hypatia. What does it suggest about early Christian attitudes about women? Does Hypatia's story resonate today? Explain your reasoning.

Ans-2 A group of Christian extremists led by Peter the Lector once ambushed a woman's carriage on the streets of Alexandria, Egypt, took her from it, and beat her to death with roofing tiles inside a church. Then they dismembered and burned her body. This demonstrates their lack of respect for women and their view of them as mere accessories. The female philosopher known as Hypatia resided and taught in Alexandria. Yes, Hypatia's narrative still has relevance today because she was a well-known philosopher in Alexandria who taught astronomy and philosophy. She created the fluid density measuring instruments and the astrolabe for ship navigation. Paganism came to an end with Hypatia's passing, and Christianity emerged victorious.
