Hypatia

I was born in the wrong era...

About Me

I live in the past, the era of my namesake, Hypatia of Alexandria, the era of Ashoka, of Socrates, Sappho, Illango Adigal, The Tale of Genji and the Dream of the Red Lantern, of Innana and Lady Godiva. So please don't bother me with the Twenty-First Century, because everything you could ever truly want waits for you deep in Antiquity...
