00:00:38 The late fourth century A.D. the
00:00:40 Alexandria, in the province of Egypt,
00:00:42 ...possessed one of the Seven
00:00:44 ...the legendary lighthouse,
00:00:47 The library was a not only
00:00:49 a place where the pagans worshiped
00:00:53 The traditional pagan worship
00:00:55 ...with the Jews, and an unstoppable
00:00:58 ...Christianity.
00:01:24 How many fools do you think
00:01:27 why don't the stars fall
00:01:30 But you,
00:01:33 You know that the stars
00:01:37 they merely revolve
00:01:40 following the most perfect
00:01:44 The circle.
00:01:52 Because the circle reigns
00:01:54 the stars have never fallen
00:01:57 But, what about here on Earth?
00:02:06 Here, bodies do fall.
00:02:08 But their movements
00:02:12 Watch again.
00:02:17 No, leave it.
00:02:20 So,
00:02:22 What mysterious wonder
00:02:25 lurking beneath the Earth that would
00:02:30 and object and slaves circular?
00:02:35 What might it be?
00:02:37 The heaviness, lady.
00:02:39 No.
00:02:43 Synesius.
00:02:49 The weightiness.
00:02:50 No, you're both speaking about the same thing,
00:02:58 Have any of you ever wondered that your..
00:03:01 that your feet...
00:03:03 your feet
00:03:05 are standing on the very center of the cosmos
00:03:08 that holds all things together
00:03:15 If there were no center,
00:03:18 shapeless, infinite, formless,
00:03:20 chaotic.
00:03:22 Will it make a little difference if
00:03:25 And we'd all be better off
00:03:27 Library of Alexandria 391 AD
00:03:47 God, Our Father,
00:03:49 Lord of the universe,
00:03:51 origin of all things,
00:03:53 eternal force of the cosmos,
00:03:55 where everything has
00:04:00 Almighty Serapis,
00:04:03 Anubis and all the other gods
00:04:08 both in heaven
00:04:14 I don't know what's happening in the market.
00:05:00 I know you also feel something.
00:05:06 Tell the master we're leaving.
00:05:23 Can you believe? He was courting me
00:05:27 This Orestes is as foolish
00:05:31 I already suggested that he devote
00:05:35 one more beautiful than I.
00:05:38 - Who?
00:05:41 Music?
00:05:47 He didn't find his music.
00:06:00 What happen?
00:06:04 Look at this, it's 14.
00:06:53 They behave like humans!
00:07:03 If my gods eat, drink
00:07:07 Know this,
00:07:10 you who console yourself
00:07:14 Men, women,
00:07:17 Serapis!
00:07:19 Serapis! Who could trust
00:07:24 for a crown?
00:07:26 Hey you, Christians, how arrogant
00:07:29 Empire allows you to exist.
00:07:32 My father's father saw them
00:07:35 slaughtered in the circus
00:07:37 and fed to the lions.
00:07:41 Enough! Watch.
00:07:44 Watch.
00:07:46 I shall now walk across the fire.
00:07:51 If my God...
00:07:55 If my God is the true god,
00:07:59 If however, your gods exist
00:08:02 they will roast me like a pig.
00:08:05 You...
00:08:08 You're a lie!
00:08:12 You'll get what you deserve.
00:08:34 Now, let's see if you can
00:08:39 What are you doing?
00:08:42 Stop, you can't do that!
00:08:45 Be quiet pagan or we'd
00:09:02 Whose is this?
00:09:06 Whose is this?
00:09:10 How many times must
00:09:14 Today,
00:09:16 the Christians burned a man.
00:09:19 Right in the middle of the Agora!
00:09:22 I will not have this in my house!
00:09:24 Not in the house of Theon!
00:09:32 Give it to me.
00:09:35 Give it to me!
00:09:40 Master, I beg mercy
00:09:43 - Davus!
00:09:44 You have nothing to do
00:09:46 I too, am a Christian.
00:09:51 What did you say?
00:09:52 I too, am a Christian.
00:09:56 So, now they presume
00:10:02 Get a whip.
00:10:07 Please wait until
00:10:12 Father, I beg of you.
00:10:20 wrapped in a blazing brightness.
00:10:23 It was the flames, stupid.
00:10:25 Then why didn't he burn
00:10:35 Leave us...
00:10:46 Come here.
00:10:51 Kneel.
00:11:15 Tell me, is it true that
00:11:18 I don't know what to say, Mistress.
00:11:21 If I said yes, that would be a lie.
00:11:25 If I said no, that'd mean I lied to
00:11:29 Then you should say nothing at all.
00:11:36 There.
00:11:40 Thank you.
00:11:44 I want you to know that the Master
00:11:54 What is that?
00:11:58 Something I made, Mistress.
00:12:01 But it looks like a...
00:12:05 What is it?
00:12:07 It's Ptolemaic System.
00:12:10 It is.
00:12:13 Did you do this?
00:12:16 Earth
00:12:19 is the center of the cosmos
00:12:23 and revolving around it
00:12:25 the Sun
00:12:27 and the five wanderers: Mercury,
00:12:30 Obstinately disobeying
00:12:33 Nevertheless, Ptolemy shows
00:12:37 The fact that we see them move
00:12:38 in a loop
00:12:40 is due to the joint
00:12:43 One that...
00:12:45 travels around the Earth
00:12:49 and another lesser circle
00:12:52 prophet to each wanderer.
00:12:54 Look, the epicycles.
00:12:58 But our eyes
00:13:01 Well said, Davus.
00:13:02 I'd like you to know that
00:13:04 that you've been paying
00:13:08 One or two..others here.
00:13:15 I tell you, the gods
00:13:17 before they created anything.
00:13:20 Why do you say that, Orestes?
00:13:22 It all seem so whimsical!
00:13:25 Why the joint effect
00:13:27 Wouldn't it be more perfect,
00:13:32 and a single circle
00:13:35 Orestes, by what authority
00:13:41 What is wrong with you, Christians?
00:13:44 Can a man no longer open
00:13:46 If you criticize creation, you criticize
00:13:50 You should move out to the desert.
00:13:51 You won't hear anything
00:13:54 You know nothing of what you speak.
00:14:02 Synesius, what is Euclid's first rule?
00:14:06 Why the question?
00:14:07 Just.. answer me.
00:14:13 If...
00:14:15 if two things are equal
00:14:18 then they are all equal to each other.
00:14:20 Good.
00:14:22 Now, are you both not similar to me?
00:14:29 Yes.
00:14:30 And you, Orestes?
00:14:33 Yes.
00:14:36 Now, I'm actually saying this to
00:14:40 More things unite us...
00:14:41 than divide us.
00:14:43 Now, whatever maybe going
00:14:47 We are brothers.
00:14:50 I want you to remember that brawls
00:14:56 Now I think we should all honor Davus
00:15:07 He'll judge us all
00:15:10 And then it will be too late,
00:15:12 because only those who believed in Jesus
00:15:16 will be saved.
00:15:18 What are you waiting for?
00:15:21 What are you waiting for?
00:15:23 The Kingdom of God is upon us.
00:15:27 Do you understand
00:15:29 Yes.
00:15:30 Yeah but do you
00:15:34 Do you, not your head, a sheep?
00:15:41 What are you looking at?
00:15:43 Yes, you.
00:15:44 What are you looking here?
00:15:47 Are you Ammonius?
00:15:49 The man who performed the miracle?
00:15:51 Do you want to see a miracle?
00:15:54 Are you the one?
00:15:56 I am.
00:15:58 Come with me.
00:16:03 Jesus went throughout Galilee
00:16:07 teaching in their synagogues.
00:16:09 Preaching the good news
00:16:12 and healing the diseases of sick.
00:16:17 News about him spread
00:16:21 and people came from
00:16:24 That is Theophilus.
00:16:27 Bishop.
00:16:30 For theirs is the Kingdom
00:16:33 Blessed are those who mourn
00:16:36 for they will be comforted.
00:16:40 Blessed are the meek
00:16:43 for they will inherit the earth.
00:16:47 Blessed are they which do hunger
00:16:52 for they will be filled.
00:16:54 The word of God!
00:16:55 Blessed are
00:16:57 for they will be shown mercy.
00:17:00 Blessed are
00:17:03 for they will see God.
00:17:08 The Lord be with you.
00:17:11 So how are you able
00:17:14 The Lord be with you.
00:17:17 What do you think I did?
00:17:20 You probable do not even know how.
00:17:26 What do you have in that sack?
00:17:28 Do you have any food here?
00:17:31 What's wrong with you?
00:17:33 I have to pay for that
00:17:36 What do you need money for?
00:17:39 Look at their faces.
00:17:46 Here.
00:17:47 I want you to try it yourself.
00:17:49 And afterwards I will
00:17:53 Go on.
00:17:58 The Lord be with you.
00:18:02 See?
00:18:03 That is a miracle!
00:18:05 Go on, keep doing it.
00:18:13 The Lord be with you.
00:18:15 Please.
00:18:18 Thank you.
00:18:26 Bless you,
00:18:26 God bless you.
00:18:30 Bless you.
00:18:48 Hey, slave!
00:18:50 What is your name?
00:18:57 Davus.
00:18:59 Davus the slave!
00:19:01 Now, you look like
00:19:04 A true soldier of Christ.
00:19:16 What are they saying now?
00:19:19 Telling them to dance.
00:19:21 The men are now heavy with wine.
00:19:26 All aboard!
00:19:27 Oh what an unfortunate wreck.
00:19:29 Save your servants!
00:19:31 End of Part Two!
00:19:42 Thank you, audience, thank you.
00:19:44 Now, excuse the delay
00:19:47 and change our costumes.
00:19:59 Good evening
00:20:00 Forgive my boldness.
00:20:03 I am Orestes,
00:20:04 son of Orestes.
00:20:06 I'm here to...
00:20:12 I'm here to declare my love
00:20:15 I mean, you all no doubt know
00:20:19 for some time now,
00:20:22 I have devoted myself to music.
00:20:24 In the hope of seeking solace
00:20:28 But for me,
00:20:31 such harmony
00:20:32 resides only in my lady.
00:20:36 So,
00:20:38 My purpose here is merely to...
00:20:41 offer my melody
00:20:44 in the hopes of...
00:20:49 Stop talking.
00:22:47 That man will go far, I tell you.
00:22:50 He's my preferred fruit for the banana
00:22:55 at his feet.
00:23:00 Wouldn't it be best to please him?
00:23:02 Me?
00:23:05 How?
00:23:06 Granting him your daughter's hand.
00:23:10 Hypatia subject to a man?
00:23:15 Or even to speak her mind.
00:23:19 The most brilliant philosopher
00:23:24 No, that could be death to her.
00:23:30 It's true.
00:23:35 That she's brilliant and virtuous.
00:23:39 But Theon,
00:23:41 She has not found her gift.
00:23:44 Being a woman, I mean.
00:23:50 Our Father
00:24:00 Don't let anyone have her.
00:24:04 Please, don't anyone else have her.
00:24:08 Don't let anyone else have her.
00:24:18 Amen.
00:24:25 Good day, lady.
00:24:26 Good day, lady.
00:24:28 Good day, lady.
00:24:32 Good day lady.
00:24:43 Yesterday, many of you would
00:24:45 present me an ollos
00:24:48 I accepted the gift.
00:24:50 And today I wish to make him
00:25:06 This is for you.
00:25:18 It is the blood of my cycle.
00:25:24 Orestes you...
00:25:27 You say that you have
00:25:30 Well, I am suggesting
00:25:32 because I think that there
00:25:37 beauty in that.
00:25:41 Don't you agree?
00:25:53 Yesterday we were discussing
00:25:57 We discussed the circle,
00:26:01 Today we will discuss the hyperbola.
00:26:05 Forgive me, Lady.
00:26:06 Olympius requires your presence
00:26:08 urgently in the Serapeum.
00:26:11 You as well.
00:26:27 Thank you, Lord.
00:26:32 Thank you, Lord.
00:26:34 How are we to enjoy them
00:26:38 and customs to people who
00:26:42 - What's happening?
00:26:45 Christians
00:26:47 They are mocking the gods.
00:26:49 We must put an end
00:26:52 They may not fear him,
00:26:54 but they will fear our swords.
00:27:00 Wait!
00:27:01 Wait!
00:27:03 Now, what is it you are going to do?
00:27:05 Are you going to attack them?
00:27:07 Are you going to stain your hands
00:27:12 To the gods!
00:27:15 Well, if you think it
00:27:17 and announce their
00:27:19 One might think that
00:27:21 I am trying to protect our disciples.
00:27:24 You, are inciting them
00:27:28 Theon, as director,
00:27:37 The insult must be answered.
00:27:41 Those Jews amongst you do as
00:27:44 As for you Christians, you would
00:27:48 You will not caused my disciples
00:27:51 - Glory be to Serapis!
00:27:55 Wait for my command!
00:27:57 No one must suspect us
00:28:00 The clubs are for the slaves.
00:28:06 Slaves are all for summon!
00:28:10 Davus, back.
00:28:12 No. Go back.
00:28:14 Death to Christians!
00:28:23 Glory be to Serapis!
00:28:44 Let's listen to her now!
00:28:51 Do you hear any complaint?
00:28:53 No!
00:28:55 This one has lost her voice too!
00:29:02 Their mouths do not speak,
00:29:04 their eyes do not see,
00:29:06 their nose doesn't smell.
00:29:09 Yet still, pagans come here
00:29:17 What madness is this?
00:29:26 For the gods!
00:30:28 Medorus!
00:30:30 Take care of your master!
00:30:35 God is one!
00:30:46 Death to the pagans!
00:30:52 You! What are you looking at?
00:31:05 Fight!
00:31:07 Are you deaf?
00:31:23 I'm a Christian!
00:31:28 I am a Christian!
00:31:32 I am a Christian!
00:31:42 - What is Christ?
00:31:45 Death to the pagans!
00:31:48 God is one!
00:31:54 No! No!
00:31:57 The entrance!
00:32:01 What's happening?
00:32:03 Our men are being sent
00:32:23 Father!
00:32:25 It's alright. It's alright.
00:32:30 What happened?
00:32:33 It was his slave.
00:32:37 Davus, get me some cloth
00:32:41 Father...
00:32:46 Synesius, we must get out of here.
00:32:49 Hold him still.
00:33:05 Parabolani are coming!
00:33:19 God is with us!
00:33:24 Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
00:33:27 - Close the gates!
00:33:29 May the gods protect them.
00:33:32 Close the gates..I said!
00:33:59 Don't kill him! He'll be our hostage
00:34:04 Any Christian you
00:34:08 Take our wounded to the temple
00:34:12 And anyone with a good eye
00:34:16 Olympius.
00:34:18 This one is a Christian.
00:34:19 Yes, and those three as well.
00:34:22 If they are Christians,
00:34:25 Olympius, if you are going
00:34:27 then you are going to have
00:34:29 If it is necessary,
00:34:33 If anyone,
00:34:37 anyone,
00:34:40 dare lay a finger on
00:34:45 I swear I'll run in for you.
00:34:50 Look!
00:34:52 Look at this!
00:35:01 Orestes.
00:35:03 Thank you.
00:35:23 Since when were there
00:35:26 We'll talk to them to negotiate.
00:35:59 What are we waiting for?
00:36:03 Except we'll be put in a sword.
00:36:05 Our sense of positive being
00:36:08 Here will do.
00:36:11 No one should
00:36:15 Are they going to pray all night?
00:36:22 Davus.
00:36:24 Stay here.
00:36:26 It's safer here.
00:36:33 Just stay with him first.
00:37:17 Synesius! What are you doing?
00:37:23 Lady, sister and mother,
00:37:26 May God bless you and protect you.
00:38:50 Move back!
00:38:52 Slaves take it to the back.
00:38:54 Slaves get to the back!
00:38:58 If this three one come out.
00:39:00 It's a disaster.
00:39:02 Father, why don't you leave the dice?
00:39:05 Have you been seen today?
00:39:07 -No.
00:39:10 Let's have a look.
00:39:14 Promise me, my child, that...
00:39:16 when I'm gone, you won't
00:39:20 I promise.
00:39:23 Remember me as I was before.
00:39:28 Before when I could still think and...
00:39:32 I...
00:39:34 work with you and...
00:39:37 I listen to you.
00:39:40 How could I have been so wrong?
00:39:45 Seeing you here locked
00:39:48 Father, please.
00:39:50 I wanted you to be free.
00:40:00 I am free.
00:40:05 Hey, Christians.
00:40:07 Christians!
00:40:09 What's that confident God
00:40:12 Maybe coffins for you, scums!
00:40:36 So tell me.
00:40:37 Where are the gods now?
00:40:41 Where are they?
00:40:44 Might as well look for others.
00:40:47 Which one? The God of the Christians perhaps?
00:40:50 Such boldness!
00:40:56 What do you think, Lady?
00:41:04 Put the fire out.
00:41:23 You are indeed bold.
00:41:26 Very bold.
00:41:28 I've been thinking about
00:41:30 Me?
00:41:32 That day that you criticize
00:41:35 and you called it
00:41:38 whimsical.
00:41:41 Actually...
00:41:43 I was criticizing Ptolemy.
00:41:45 For complicating everything
00:41:49 I don't know perhaps
00:41:52 No.
00:41:54 No, the heavens
00:41:56 should be simple.
00:42:00 So am I right or..?
00:42:06 What if...
00:42:11 What if there were simpler
00:42:15 There is.
00:42:18 But it is so absurd, so old.
00:42:22 That no one gives it any credit.
00:42:24 What theory is that?
00:42:26 Do you think of Aristarchus?
00:42:27 Aristarchus maintained
00:42:30 that the earth moves.
00:42:32 The strange behavior of the wanderers
00:42:36 was nothing more than an optical illusion
00:42:39 caused by our movement
00:42:42 in combination with Earth
00:42:46 - Heliocentric model.
00:42:49 The sun would be in the center
00:42:51 acting as speaking of it as
00:42:55 It would make Earth just..another wanderer.
00:42:59 in the fire that destroyed
00:43:02 This is why we have to
00:43:06 Our library
00:43:08 is all that remains of
00:43:12 But everytime you drop an object here.
00:43:17 Who speaks?
00:43:19 Forgive me, Mistress.
00:43:24 I was listening.
00:43:26 Speak up, Davus.
00:43:28 If the earth is moving,
00:43:31 every time dropping
00:43:34 fall further behind.
00:43:38 And the wind would always
00:43:41 And the birds would
00:43:43 I told you
00:43:45 Aristarchus' hypothesis
00:43:51 I feel that what you just
00:44:01 But right now I don't know how.
00:44:25 Make way for the prefect!
00:44:27 Make way!
00:44:30 Make way for the prefect!
00:44:32 Make way!
00:44:49 Listen one and all!
00:44:52 Prepare to hear and obey
00:44:59 I, Flavius Theodosius Augustus
00:45:02 Emperor and Supreme Head
00:45:06 having been informed
00:45:08 which recently took place
00:45:12 do hereby declare and command
00:45:14 that the insurgents shall
00:45:26 In exchange for my generosity,
00:45:29 the insurgents will abandon the
00:45:35 allowing the Christians to enter
00:45:37 and dispose off the premises
00:45:41 as they see fit.
00:45:49 What are we to expect?
00:45:54 Pagans will
00:45:56 The Books.
00:45:57 And they will be escorted
00:46:01 Obey this, instant!
00:46:08 Keep it together!
00:46:12 Send half of the regiment
00:46:14 and send the rest later.
00:46:16 Yes, sir.
00:46:19 Prefect.
00:46:20 We won't be able to
00:46:25 On the cross! On the cross!
00:46:27 Keep yourself together!
00:46:38 Leave the lesser works.
00:46:40 - Which are the lesser works?
00:46:48 The soldiers are withdrawing!
00:47:14 Slave!
00:47:15 - Have you seen my mistress?
00:47:25 - They're not carrying so many.
00:47:32 Please go and get my father
00:47:43 Slave!
00:47:45 Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:47:48 Come on, quickly!
00:47:52 Hypatia and her students
00:47:55 Are they out of their minds?
00:47:58 If that's what they want, let them burn.
00:48:01 Come on!
00:48:03 Quickly!
00:48:16 Lady.
00:48:18 Where have you been?
00:48:20 Lady We have to go.
00:48:26 Why are slaves never around
00:48:31 I was...
00:48:34 Idiot!
00:48:54 Run!
00:48:57 There is no time!
00:49:02 Lady!
00:49:05 Leave them.
00:49:15 God is one!
00:49:29 Run!
00:49:40 Davus!
00:49:42 Where are you going?
00:49:43 - We have to go!
00:49:46 If he wants to die
00:49:48 Please, no.
00:49:50 - Come on!
00:49:52 - Davus, no!
00:50:21 God is one!
00:51:19 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
00:51:39 Slave!
00:51:45 Davus!
00:51:48 Davus!
00:51:51 Davus the slave!
00:51:54 Help me with this!
00:51:56 Help me!
00:51:58 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
00:53:06 Pagan sinners!
00:54:56 The Master's wound is festering.
00:55:02 I know.
00:55:07 I know.
00:55:41 Davus.
00:56:08 Davus!
00:57:31 You're free.
00:57:34 Go.
00:57:59 Hence forth, in Alexandria
00:58:02 only Christian and Jewish
00:58:07 Pagan sacrifices,
00:58:09 worshipping pagan symbols
00:58:11 and visiting pagan temples
00:58:15 Should anyone commit such an act or
00:58:19 of former gods. He shall
01:01:32 Damn Jews!
01:01:34 Damn Jews!
01:01:41 They're just a bunch of good for
01:01:45 Joran, my dear friend, calm down.
01:01:48 Let Bishop Cyril
01:01:52 Prefect
01:01:54 our blessed parabolani,
01:01:57 Whom he has just called
01:01:59 the Beast of Burden.
01:02:02 Devote themselves true
01:02:05 crippled, the sick,
01:02:08 And stones!
01:02:09 Prefect, they carry stones.
01:02:11 And now, they burst into the theatre
01:02:13 and stone us knowing we will
01:02:16 Because it is the Sabbath!
01:02:19 On the Sabbath you
01:02:21 in your synagogues
01:02:24 with sweet set of theater.
01:02:26 That is why the stones
01:02:29 Prefect, do you hear that?
01:02:33 Friends, there are more things that unite
01:02:37 We are brothers!
01:02:40 Where would you Christians be
01:02:42 without the Jews?
01:02:45 Jesus was a Jew!
01:03:18 There is..something I find
01:03:20 disturbing in what you've told me.
01:03:23 - What?
01:03:26 Why does Cyril speak
01:03:30 Is he not satisfied with
01:03:32 I think he's just trying
01:03:35 But why say it in front of you?
01:03:37 What if really he was
01:03:41 Me?
01:03:42 Why?
01:03:45 Yes, but you forget
01:03:45 that many of us from
01:03:49 And a full sail, prefect.
01:03:53 Let's go.
01:03:57 -Aspasius, you ready?
01:04:00 I would like you to take the sack
01:04:18 And now, Lady,
01:04:20 Will you finally tell me what
01:04:25 When Aspasius
01:04:26 drops the sack, the boat
01:04:29 Therefore, the sack
01:04:31 won't fall at the foot of the mast,
01:04:33 but will fall further back.
01:04:42 about here.
01:04:43 And what is so special about that?
01:05:00 - Yes!
01:05:02 Yes, but this is definite proof!
01:05:04 It's definitive. The sack.
01:05:07 The sack behaved as
01:05:10 What does that mean?
01:05:13 I don't know.
01:05:16 But the same principle could
01:05:19 It could be moving around
01:05:25 -Aristarchus.
01:05:29 Why do you torment
01:05:33 Ptolemy's not perfect but...
01:05:35 it works.
01:05:37 Orestes, but you are the one who...
01:05:40 A few years ago, you weren't
01:05:44 Well, a few years ago,
01:06:06 I have Cepheus third.
01:06:11 37.
01:06:13 48.
01:06:18 Venus and Mars
01:06:19 share house in Aquarius.
01:06:25 My father would have celebrated
01:06:31 The stars will not fall.
01:06:34 No, because they're fixed
01:06:36 The lid will open in two hearts
01:06:41 What chest are you talking about?
01:06:44 Don't you know that the
01:06:48 Heaven is the lid on top
01:06:52 They haven't told this fool
01:06:57 The Earth is flat.
01:06:59 Your head is flat.
01:07:01 Read the Scriptures!
01:07:02 If the earth is round,
01:07:04 Why don't the people at
01:07:10 What about the ones on the sides?
01:07:12 Why don't they slide off?
01:07:16 Think about that.
01:07:19 Davus knows.
01:07:22 Hey, brother.
01:07:23 What do you say?
01:07:24 Is the earth is flat or round?
01:07:30 Only God knows those things.
01:07:38 Leave them on the ground!
01:07:40 Leave them on the ground!
01:07:42 Lady, you must not lose heart.
01:07:45 Today on the boat you made
01:07:47 Why do the wanderers
01:07:51 So unexpectedly.
01:07:55 And what is worse,
01:07:57 Why does the sun?
01:08:00 Why does it change size
01:08:04 Perhaps because...
01:08:06 sometimes it is nearer...
01:08:08 and other times it is farther away.
01:08:11 But Aspasius
01:08:13 Watch.
01:08:14 According Aristarchus, the sun must be
01:08:18 at the center of everything.
01:08:21 With us, the Earth,
01:08:24 traveling in a circle around it.
01:08:29 Therefore,
01:08:30 and this is the key.
01:08:33 We're always at exactly...
01:08:38 the same...
01:08:41 distance.
01:08:43 Now, if as you just said,
01:08:46 then we are forced to add
01:08:49 and epicycle to the Earth's orbit.
01:08:51 So it's going to be nearer
01:08:56 But now we fall into
01:08:59 Circle upon circles.
01:09:02 So I just do not know
01:09:10 I mean, the only thing
01:09:15 displace the sun from the
01:09:19 not to have a center.
01:09:21 It breaks my heart, Aspasius.
01:09:26 So tell me,
01:09:30 Rest, lady.
01:09:45 Parabolani!
01:09:47 - Parabolani!
01:09:50 Parabolani, quick!
01:09:53 St. Alexander's on fire!
01:09:55 It is a fire.
01:09:58 Come on!
01:10:03 Gather water! Get the water!
01:10:09 Hurry!
01:10:12 Quick!
01:10:16 Come on, come on!
01:10:25 Parabolani!
01:10:27 Parabolani!
01:10:29 Parabolani, quick!
01:10:33 Where's the fire?
01:10:37 Where's the fire?
01:10:48 Jews! It's a trap.
01:10:49 It's a trap!
01:12:13 Christians, all.
01:12:16 Last night was a night to deplore.
01:12:21 Now I say to you.
01:12:24 Grieve no longer
01:12:28 Weep not.
01:12:33 Shed your tears for the others,
01:12:36 for they are executioners.
01:12:47 Yes, yes.
01:12:50 Weep for them.
01:12:54 Know not of God,
01:12:56 nor of love nor of parity.
01:12:59 They know not
01:13:01 because it is they
01:13:05 who repeat the words of the Scriptures
01:13:10 It is they who saw
01:13:13 when the Son of God was
01:13:16 And it is they who in
01:13:18 their blindness, mocked him
01:13:26 Yes
01:13:28 Weep!
01:13:32 those evil butchers
01:13:37 Because God...
01:13:40 because God, God, God
01:13:43 It is God's will..
01:13:45 that they live
01:13:48 cursed and exiled
01:13:51 Cursed and exiled!
01:13:55 Cursed and exiled!
01:14:00 Cursed and exiled!
01:14:26 Lady, do not stop, Lady.
01:15:17 Now all the Jews
01:15:20 I'm afraid you don't understand
01:15:23 When this is all over,
01:15:34 I'm sorry for busting in like this.
01:15:37 Lady, you should the
01:15:40 Where are the troops?
01:15:43 Why are there no more
01:15:45 No army could contain that mob.
01:15:51 Calling to the annihilation
01:15:55 A bishop!
01:15:57 - A Christian!
01:16:02 Prefect.
01:16:04 You should have him arrested.
01:16:10 It's not so easy.
01:16:12 Lady,
01:16:14 Cyril knows they both
01:16:19 That places our prefect in a very...
01:16:22 awkward position.
01:16:23 If he defends the Jews,
01:16:27 against his government.
01:16:30 I see.
01:16:33 But if you choose to do nothing now,
01:16:36 I believe Cyril will
01:16:39 continue to do the same thing
01:16:43 until there is no one left in this city.
01:16:46 No people for this
01:17:02 How naive of me.
01:17:06 How naive of me to think
01:17:52 Jews out!
01:18:15 First, they kill them
01:18:18 then they bury them.
01:18:32 The Bishop of Cyrene.
01:18:34 - What is he doing here?
01:18:39 It's my little library
01:18:46 This is where I teach the children.
01:18:51 An Apollonian cone.
01:18:53 Yes, I built it to teach them
01:18:56 The Circle.
01:18:59 The ellipse.
01:19:03 Orestes should really
01:19:05 Parabola.
01:19:08 And hyperbola.
01:19:11 It's truly beautiful.
01:19:13 You know, I often look at it
01:19:17 why does the circle coexist with such
01:19:19 impure shapes?
01:19:24 When I get to sit here
01:19:26 I bore you.
01:19:28 It's been a long time since
01:19:30 beat my head against a stone.
01:19:33 Anyhow, there are more
01:19:36 Forgive me.
01:19:50 Two Christians in the hands
01:19:52 It's an outrage!
01:20:01 It's an outrage!
01:20:24 - How many left?
01:20:34 Ammonius.
01:20:37 Does God speak with you?
01:20:40 All the time.
01:20:43 Ammonius this, Ammonius that.
01:20:47 Today, he spoke to me
01:20:48 so quickly, I had to
01:20:54 Tell me something.
01:20:57 Do you ever think
01:21:02 Why?
01:21:09 I always forgive and...
01:21:13 but now,
01:21:17 Forgive?
01:21:19 Who?
01:21:22 The Jews?
01:21:27 Well, Jesus pardon them on the cross.
01:21:32 Jesus was God
01:21:34 and only He can show
01:21:37 How dare you
01:21:44 Brother.
01:21:49 We are still alive.
01:21:52 Why?
01:21:54 Because it was
01:21:55 His will to save us
01:22:00 God wants us here,
01:22:04 Don't you believe in that anymore?
01:22:23 My Lord...
01:22:31 Cyril is a very proud man.
01:22:33 He'll agree to meet, but he wouldn't
01:22:40 Peace?
01:22:41 My suggestion, as your
01:22:45 is for you to accept.
01:22:48 Let peace be foremost.
01:22:51 Lady, what do you think?
01:22:54 I don't think it's very encouraging.
01:22:57 Why would he want
01:22:59 without any concrete proposals?
01:23:04 He won't come to you.
01:23:06 Demands he meet you in the Library,
01:23:08 during the Sunday service.
01:23:10 In the Library?
01:23:13 Only Christians are being permitted
01:23:17 It is a provocation!
01:23:22 Allow me to suggest.
01:23:25 If you consider your presence
01:23:27 so essential
01:23:29 why not let yourself be baptized?
01:23:34 The majority of us here,
01:23:35 beginning with our prefect,
01:23:39 Why not the rest of you?
01:23:41 It's only a matter of
01:23:44 Really?
01:23:47 It is just a matter of time?
01:23:49 Well, excuse me...
01:23:51 honored member but
01:23:54 your God has not yet proved himself
01:23:56 to be more just or more merciful
01:23:59 Lady.
01:24:00 Is it really just a question
01:24:05 Why, then,
01:24:07 should this assembly
01:24:09 accept the counsel of
01:24:13 believes in absolutely nothing?
01:24:18 I believe in philosophy.
01:24:23 Philosophy.
01:24:25 Just what we need
01:24:27 in times like this.
01:24:30 Enough!
01:24:42 All these years, I've been studying.
01:24:46 With absolutely no life of my own.
01:24:50 And I wonder,
01:24:54 Whoa, forget about
01:25:01 Is this all life holds for me?
01:25:05 What else?
01:25:08 I doubt anyone could see as a...
01:25:10 devoted wife
01:25:12 and mother.
01:25:14 I think...
01:25:15 I think everyone in the city
01:25:23 So...
01:25:29 My father loved a woman.
01:25:32 Even he...
01:25:35 Who have I ever loved?
01:25:40 Except you,
01:25:41 Libanius.
01:25:54 If I could just...
01:25:59 just unravel this...
01:26:01 just a little bit more.
01:26:07 And just get a little close
01:26:11 then I would...
01:26:15 then I would go to my
01:26:20 Why?
01:26:22 Why does that mean so much to you?
01:26:27 Right now,
01:26:29 this very second, the whole
01:26:33 and no one realizes it.
01:26:36 Except you and me.
01:26:38 Believe me Lady, it's best
01:26:42 Do you really not think it important?
01:26:45 I don't understand why you
01:26:49 Well, you saw for yourself
01:26:50 Yes, I did. But that does not
01:26:55 What if it does?
01:26:56 Hypatia, look around you.
01:26:59 Death,
01:27:01 horror
01:27:02 destruction.
01:27:03 If the stars move in a circle
01:27:07 why would they share
01:27:12 So we do not move...
01:27:14 In a circle.
01:27:16 We don't move...
01:27:21 Circle.
01:27:24 We do not move in a circle.
01:27:35 Ever since Plato,
01:27:37 all of them: Aristarchus
01:27:41 they have all tried to
01:27:44 with circular orbits but...
01:27:47 What if another shape
01:27:50 Another shape?
01:27:51 Lady, there is no shape purer
01:27:55 I know, but suppose
01:27:58 purity of the circle
01:28:00 has blinded us from seeing
01:28:03 The same way that the glare of the sun
01:28:08 I must begin all over with...
01:28:10 with new eyes.
01:28:13 I must rethink everything.
01:28:31 Reading from the first
01:28:35 I desire therefore,
01:28:39 men should lift up
01:28:42 without anger or disputing.
01:28:47 In like manner,
01:28:49 I desire women
01:28:52 to dress modestly,
01:28:55 with decency and propriety
01:28:57 not with braided hair
01:29:01 or gold or pearls
01:29:03 or expensive clothes,
01:29:07 but with good deeds.
01:29:10 I don't know, prefect.
01:29:15 That a woman learn
01:29:17 in quietness and in full submission.
01:29:21 to teach or to have authority
01:29:27 but to be
01:29:30 in silence.
01:29:38 This is the word of God!
01:29:40 Amen.
01:29:42 Amen.
01:29:45 Jesus himself
01:29:47 knew this when he
01:29:50 entrusted his holy legacy
01:29:54 Men.
01:29:55 Not a woman among them.
01:29:59 And yet,
01:30:01 I know of some in Alexandria
01:30:04 who admire and even
01:30:09 The philosopher Hypatia.
01:30:12 A woman who declared,
01:30:14 in public, her ungodliness.
01:30:22 A witch!
01:30:26 Dignitaries,
01:30:28 it is time for you all to
01:30:44 This is the word of God.
01:30:48 Kneel before it
01:31:34 Kneel.
01:31:37 Is he not going to kneel?
01:31:42 Is he not going to kneel?
01:31:52 Kneel!
01:31:54 Kneel!
01:32:11 Sinner!
01:32:15 I am a Christian!
01:32:18 - I am a Christian!
01:32:20 I'm as Christian as you are.
01:32:22 Make way for the prefect!
01:32:26 Make way!
01:32:38 I am a baptized Christian!
01:32:41 I am a baptized Christian!
01:32:47 I'll kill you.
01:32:54 I am as Christian as you.
01:32:57 I am as Christian as you are.
01:33:44 I mean, how could such
01:33:47 The culprit has been executed.
01:33:49 I would like you to take me
01:33:51 Lady, he himself gave the order
01:33:53 for you to be confined to
01:33:57 At the moment your presence
01:34:01 For what reason?
01:34:05 Cyril has made some serious
01:34:11 And um...
01:34:13 What does he accused me of?
01:34:16 Ungodliness...
01:34:18 And witchcraft.
01:34:25 I see.
01:34:38 Is something bothering you, Lady?
01:34:41 No.
01:34:46 Why don't you tell me
01:35:12 Prefect, why don't you bite on it?
01:35:16 Speak.
01:35:17 The Bishop of Cyrene wishes to see you.
01:35:22 All of you...
01:35:23 Prefect, the wound is not yet closed.
01:35:25 Get out.
01:35:32 All of you out!
01:35:44 Well, that went well.
01:35:47 You think I had a part on this?
01:35:50 Would I show my face here
01:35:52 - Are you blind?
01:35:57 Well, it's my head.
01:35:58 He's wanted all along, it's me...
01:36:01 that snake is after.
01:36:04 This government!
01:36:07 This city!
01:36:10 Now, listen.
01:36:13 - War is brewing.
01:36:16 I know.
01:36:20 Do you swear your loyalty to me?
01:36:24 To the Empire?
01:36:30 Condemn him or get out.
01:36:38 I will do it.
01:36:41 On my knees, if necessary.
01:36:44 And not only that.
01:36:46 In a few days, I can gather
01:36:49 and amongst from the
01:37:03 First, I must ask you a question.
01:37:06 Orestes, do you believe in Jesus?
01:37:09 Do I what?
01:37:10 - Do you believe in Jesus?
01:37:12 Are you a true Christian?
01:37:14 Or did you like so many
01:37:18 - to prosper in politics?
01:37:20 Why didn't you kneel?
01:37:21 - What choice did I have?
01:37:23 What choice did I have?
01:37:26 Betray Hypatia?
01:37:29 Condemn her?
01:37:31 Would you have done that?
01:37:32 I would never offend God.
01:37:34 It's he, he is offending God.
01:37:37 He's twisting his words,
01:37:41 He read
01:37:44 what is written.
01:37:48 How many women do you obey?
01:37:51 How many?
01:37:52 How many do you
01:37:57 Only
01:37:59 One.
01:38:04 Only one.
01:38:06 The Scripture...
01:38:08 The Scripture is correct...
01:38:12 and it was in His hands.
01:38:17 Brother, don't you see?
01:38:19 Don't you see the insult to God?
01:38:23 In front of everyone.
01:38:29 I don't know...
01:38:34 I don't know what...
01:38:36 You have to tell him.
01:38:38 Go tell him now, Orestes.
01:38:42 Don't tell me.
01:38:46 Tell God.
01:38:48 Kneel!
01:38:52 Kneel!
01:39:16 Many are those who
01:39:18 our beloved brother
01:39:23 Like the time he commended
01:39:25 and threw himself into fire
01:39:30 Ammonius,
01:39:33 dead of bravely defending
01:39:39 I proclaim you a martyr.
01:39:43 A saint.
01:39:49 From now on,
01:39:52 Saint Taumasius.
01:40:08 We want justice!
01:40:09 Justice!
01:40:16 May God show us the way,
01:40:18 my dear parabolani.
01:40:28 What about the monks of Nitria?
01:40:30 We can win at least 500 of them.
01:40:32 plus 500 of our own men...
01:40:35 Do you think that's enough?
01:40:38 He has a whole army to protect him.
01:40:40 Listen!
01:40:42 Why don't we do something
01:40:44 What are you talking about?
01:40:47 We can hurt him
01:40:51 How?
01:40:52 That whore.
01:40:55 What if we dared to look
01:41:00 Let us share for a moment
01:41:04 What shape would it show us?
01:41:07 You once said that the problem
01:41:11 Yes I did, good..good
01:41:15 The sun must be at the center,
01:41:18 And at the same time,
01:41:20 in another position since our
01:41:23 Yes, exactly.
01:41:33 How could it occupy
01:41:37 How could I occupy
01:41:41 How could I occupy
01:42:01 Aspasius...
01:42:18 Yes, yes. There.
01:42:21 Keeping the same proportion.
01:42:26 Good. Very good.
01:42:36 Aspasius.
01:42:38 I want you to imagine
01:42:41 And that each of these flames represent
01:42:42 the two extreme positions
01:42:45 In winter and in summer.
01:42:47 What would happen if both
01:42:52 of one and the same circle?
01:42:54 But it is impossible, mistress.
01:42:56 Wait. What do we know about a circle?
01:42:59 is always the same distance
01:43:02 - Exactly.
01:43:03 What if I divide the center into two...
01:43:06 but what I keep constant is the sum
01:43:12 Alright, look. I'll show you.
01:43:16 the cord,
01:43:19 the other segment decreases,
01:43:22 Therefore the sum of the two
01:43:25 Do you see that?
01:43:27 Now, what if we apply this
01:43:48 What...
01:43:52 figure...
01:43:54 will be obtained?
01:43:59 An ellipse!
01:44:01 With the sun at one of its foci.
01:44:07 Because,
01:44:09 what is a circle except
01:44:11 a very special ellipse
01:44:13 whose foci have joined so close
01:44:22 Perhaps, I'm completely raving, Aspasius.
01:44:24 I mean, why should this be so?
01:44:28 Maybe I'm...
01:44:40 What do you think?
01:44:47 It could well be solved, mistress.
01:44:59 Well done, we'll continue
01:45:03 Get some sleep.
01:45:04 Good night, mistress.
01:45:08 Thank you.
01:46:21 Davus!
01:46:26 Davus!
01:46:32 What are you doing?
01:46:56 Lady.
01:46:59 Let me see.
01:47:02 Why don't you sit down?
01:47:07 Where is everybody?
01:47:09 Please sit down.
01:47:11 I have..
01:47:13 I have news for you too.
01:47:22 All dignitaries
01:47:24 who have yet to embrace
01:47:27 are to be baptized
01:47:30 in public.
01:47:36 The aim very clear:
01:47:38 It's to add to our cause,
01:47:44 decent folk, better
01:47:47 to fight for me.
01:47:52 You speak of battling faith.
01:48:03 Very well.
01:48:07 It seems everything seems to
01:48:09 I don't understand why you
01:48:27 I am not a member of government.
01:48:29 No, you are more than that.
01:48:33 and everyone knows it.
01:48:35 What can I say?
01:48:46 Lady.
01:48:50 Many years ago,
01:48:54 years ago, you taught us something.
01:48:57 If...
01:48:58 If two are...
01:49:01 equal to a third they are...
01:49:03 all are equal to each other.
01:49:05 Yes
01:49:06 The three of us,
01:49:09 And you, you are as
01:49:17 Synesius, you don't question
01:49:22 You cannot.
01:49:28 I must.
01:49:38 Well...
01:49:41 That's a pity,
01:49:43 Lady.
01:49:44 A great pity.
01:49:48 Our revered teacher
01:49:50 taken away from what
01:49:54 Or do you think I'm not aware
01:49:57 - Synesius!
01:50:01 What next, Lady, what next?
01:50:05 You must let me go.
01:50:07 Let me in!
01:50:09 - I'll go straight to her.
01:50:11 - Lady!
01:50:15 - Leave!
01:50:17 It's me, Davus.
01:50:21 - Tell them who I am
01:50:23 What do you want?
01:50:24 I need to speak to her. I need to
01:50:27 Mistress is not here.
01:50:30 She's at the prefect's palace.
01:50:32 - Where?
01:50:33 Prefect's palace. Thank you.
01:50:38 Who was that?
01:50:40 He was a slave once.
01:50:48 Wait, please!
01:51:01 If you don't agree, I won't be
01:51:07 I won't be able to
01:51:11 neither greet you.
01:51:16 Hypatia.
01:51:19 Don't you see?
01:51:21 I can't go on without you.
01:51:24 I cannot.
01:51:32 Without you, I can't
01:51:36 Orestes.
01:51:43 Cyril has already won.
01:52:03 Thank you.
01:52:05 I do not need you.
01:52:35 Davus!
01:52:39 Brother! Where are you going?
01:52:41 We found her!
01:53:27 Come on, walk!
01:53:29 Move it, sinner!
01:53:34 Whore!
01:53:46 Witch!
01:53:50 Pagan sinner!
01:54:04 Move! Come on!
01:54:10 Witch!
01:54:34 Strip her naked!
01:54:45 Get up.
01:54:48 That's it. So that God can behold
01:54:53 The way you knock
01:54:55 Heathen!
01:54:57 Whore.
01:54:58 Look,
01:54:59 she's not reacting.
01:55:01 She will scream all right
01:55:05 How many of you have knives?
01:55:11 Don't stain your hands
01:55:15 Let's stone her!
01:55:17 Let's stone this witch!
01:55:21 - Quickly!
01:55:23 they are still here.
01:55:24 I'll stay with her.
01:57:32 She fainted.
01:58:05 The body of Hypatia was mutilated
01:58:08 ...were dragged through the streets
01:58:10 Orestes was outlawed forever
01:58:12 ...took control of the power
01:58:20 Later, Cyril was declared a Saint
01:58:28 Although not any of Hypatia works
01:58:30 it is known that she was an
01:58:33 well-known for the mathematical
01:58:41 One thousand, two hundred years later,
01:58:43 in the 17th century, astronomer
01:58:45 ...described that one of those curves,...
01:58:47 ...the ellipse, governs the movement
