If i were in the painting in would be of Hypatia of Alexandria. At that time when women had no rights or freedom she was brave enough to expound her own ideas of Science, Mathematics and Philosophy. Her risk taking behavior had earned wrath but now is an inspirational role model too many women. She is on the side of Plato and is listening to Pythagoras. I believe i would be Hypatia because i too stand up for the rights of people just like her and would take risks in order to achieve the rights. She also was different and unique since she was the first to teach some men mathematics, science and philosophy. Even in the painting she is in between several other men which grabs our attention. 
I also like to be different from the crowd and brave enough to make a difference. I also believe their is a stronger positive non human force somewhere around us but not as strongly as Hypatia!
