Talk:415 (WOD)

Hypatia's death as described here is historically inaccurate.

Hypatia was killed because she was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. In 415 AD, she was caught in between a feud between the bishop of Alexandria, Saint Cyril and the Prefect Orestes, both Christians. In addition, the burning and Hypatia's death were separated 21 years.
