The life of Hypatia was one enriched with a passion for knowledge. Hypatia was the daughter of Theon, who was considered one of the most educated men in Alexandria, Egypt. As Hypatia grew older, she excelled in mathematics and astronomy. Hypatia became a profound orator. People from other cities in Greece came to study and learn from her. She is credited with the invention of the astrolabe, a device used in studying astronomy. Hypatia made extraordinary accomplishments for a woman in her time. Philosophers considered her a woman of great knowledge and an excellent teacher. It is reported that she was not extraordinarily beautiful but pleasant to look on, and always modest -- a winning combination of elegance and natural beauty. She was also a devoted mother and home maker. Even today, historians remember her as "the brightest star in Alexandria."
