Agora (Agora) Bashny.Net

Agora (Agora) - it was a terrible time. A time when paganism and Christianity coexisted together and fought bitterly against each other in one of the world's greatest cities Alexandria, Egypt. School is not yet dead antiquity, its principles and canons. Still taught classical Hellenic philosophy, astronomy and mathematics. Prior to this, only men were teachers and founders of philosophical schools. And it is in these troubled days there was the first woman to become a great philosopher and mathematician, teacher and head of the school of Plato in Alexandria. Adored her students, bowed before her man, she got to respect yourself and the powerful. But the love of two men, a slave-Christian Davusu (Max Minghella) and imperial prefect Orestes (Oscar Isaac), breaks the life of Hypatia (Rachel Weisz), adding to the misery of her and so hard life of brinkmanship between the warring religions fanatics who are ready to devour anyone who will point to their leaders.
