The People's Epic

This podcast examines life. Exploring and celebrating individuals who have made the most of their time on this planet. The creators, adventurers and down right kick ass souls. We leave room for the good, the bad and the not so glamourous parts of life. As well as the four-legged and fictional. We will learn from those who have done it before us and see what gems we can glean from their stories.

Hypatia

June 26, 2023 • Christopher Smith, Hannah Pniewski • Season 2 • Episode 18

We've all heard of Plato, Aristotle and Socrates, but what about the ladies? Hypatia was one of the first prominent (and documented) philosophers of antiquity. She spoke on the words of Plato but used them in the context of her era. She was unfortunately stuck in between two divides of the ancient city of Alexandria. She spoke with dignity and a high moral compass become one of the most sought after teachers in all of the Roman Empire.
