Hypatia of Alexandria: A Play in Four Acts (Legendary Women of World History Dramas, #8)

Alexandria Burns!

Born in 355 CE in the aftermath of Constantine's reign, Hypatia of Alexandria lived in a collapsing Roman Empire, a world where obedience to religious authorities trumped science, where reason and logic threatened the new world order. It was a world on the edge of the Dark Ages, a world deciding the question of science verses religion, freedom verses orthodoxy, tolerance verses hate.

For over 40 years Hypatia stood between the dark ages and the light of classical philosophy, arts, and sciences. Though none of her books survived the aggressive book burnings of religious zealots, her legacy remains that of one of the greatest scientists of all time. This is her fascinating true story.

Features Hanukkah prayers in Hebrew, challenging special effects, and ensemble casting. Perfect for educational settings and community theater.

About the Author

Born, raised, and educated in Lincoln, Nebraska USA, Laurel A. Rockefeller's passion for animals comes through in everything she writes. First self-published in 2012 as a social science fiction author (the Peers of Beinan series), Laurel has expanded her work into the animal care/guide, history, historical fiction, and biography genres.  But she is best known for her biographies, particularly "His Red Eminence" (2020 Godiva Award winner) and the thirteen biographies (and counting) of the Legendary Women of World History series.

Find Laurel's books in digital, paperback, and hardcover in your choice of up to ten languages, including Welsh, Chinese, and Dutch. Audio editions are published in all four available languages:  English, French, Spanish, and German.  Most of them feature period music performed by actor-musicians.  You can also hear Laurel sing on three of the audiobooks.

Besides advocating for animals and related environmental causes, Laurel A. Rockefeller is a passionate educator dedicated to improving history literacy worldwide, especially as it relates to women's accomplishments. In her spare time, Laurel enjoys spending time with her cockatiels, travelling to historic places, and watching classic motion pictures and classic television series.
