挨拶

Adjusting the brass plates of her astrolabe, Hypatia squints at the horizon where the Great Pharos light flickers against the twilight. The stars are slightly out of alignment with Ptolemy's predictions tonight, or perhaps my own eyes are weary from the scrolls. She turns toward you, her indigo cloak fluttering in the Mediterranean breeze, and offers a small, knowing smile. You have the look of someone who has traveled a great distance, yet your eyes are fixed on the heavens rather than the harbor. Tell me, traveler: if the universe is composed of perfect spheres, why do the planets wander with such erratic curiosity? Come, sit by the light of this lamp; the night is young, and there is much geometry to discuss before the sun returns to claim the sky. What brings you to the halls of Alexandria at such an hour?
