“Here in the Just City, you will become your best selves. You will learn and grow and strive to be excellent.”
Created as an experiment by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, the Just City is a planned community populated by over 10,000 children and a few hundred adult teachers from all eras of history, along with some handy robots from the far human future - all set down together on a Mediterranean island in the distant past.
The student Simmea, born an Egyptian farmer’s daughter sometime between AD 500 and AD 1000, is a brilliant child, eager for knowledge, ready to strive to be her best self. The teacher Maia was once Ethel, a young Victorian lady of much learning and few prospects who prayed to Pallas Athene in an unguarded moment during a trip to Rome - and in an instant found herself in the Just City, with gray-eyed Athene standing unmistakably before her.
Meanwhile, Apollo - stunned by the realization that there are things mortals understand better than he does - has arranged to live a human life and has come to the city as one of the children. He knows his true identity and conceals it from his peers. For this lifetime he is prone to all the troubles of being human.
Then, a few years in, Sokrates arrives - the same Sokrates recorded by Plato himself - to ask all the troublesome questions you would expect. What happens next is a tale only the brilliant Jo Walton could tell.

Definitely a trilogy to peruse for the metaphysically-minded mavens amongst ye. Might be necessary to stay with it through the relative longueurs (or slow bits). Especially if you like Renault (not the motor car).

…that’s tellin’ you, ill, ole pill! Although, not the most epigrammatic quip, like the old Indian guy says to Josey Wales “Endeavour to persevere.”

Then again, who can understand that Gaelic gibberish, anyway?

Extraordinary! You’re on a book site (vampire fic mainly, in truth) and you can’t distinguish betwixt 2 wholly distinct languages? Do you also put food up your bottom & poop out yer mouth?
And the less said about the racism, the better. You guys must’ve learned it from your dodgy friends back in the 1940s.
The new rules dictate that, as a racist, you are no longer entitled to an opinion, or any form of forum. Harsh decrees, but not from me. Said the detached Eaglet.

Well, there’s a saying about Finns: They’re not racists, they just don’t like other people.
And you do use such part of English vocabulary that it’s almost another language. Them big words. With a sprinkle of, um, Oirish.

It’s specifically “Hiberno-English” - so, another dialect here altogether, I’m afraid. “Interestingly” I had a Professor of English in university who wrote its definitive dictionary. His name was Terry Dolan, he was a Medievalist, and was a friend of Terry Jones (Caesar’s favourite ex-Python).
They worked on a book together, sharing, as they did, many of the same interests. It’s called “Who murdered Chaucer?” - I have it on the shelf in my well-appointed domus. Jones called it a “wasitdunnatall” rather than a whodunnit. They’re both ex-Medievalists now. Dolan was one of “those” professors that you’re unfeasibly fortunate to even meet, quite apart from learn from.
Scottish Gaelic is a branch off from Irish. We’re not responsible for their suspect shenanigans. They decided to move to somewhere that, as Billy Connolly said, was “even colder.” Which climate would seem like the balmy Caribbean to someone like yourself. Thanks for your shivering…interest?
(As to my weird word choice, I’m into the whole humour/irony thing - not very popular on the internet/Scandinavia? It’s one of those phenomena that, if you have to explain it, it hasn’t worked. Most of my linguistic manoeuvres are geared in that droll direction. We took the language of our imperial oppressors, became more skilled in its use, and gave it back to them in such a way as to make “eejits” out of them. That was part of the Wildean project (quoted above). We will have our vengeance, in this life or the next.)

I don’t know why this thing doubles. It’s a cosmic joke.

I know irony, I read about it on one of Pratchett’s books. It has something to do with pressing clothes.
Very tired now, been lugging dirt in my garden all day. I’ll be back.

“I’ll be back” - Are you getting at poor Arnie there?
Thanks for the link to your language; as soon as I become more proficient in the use of your “Gibberish” I will (hopefully) be able to make myself understood to all Finns. Finn-gers crossed.

Thank you very much for this gpsuers. I truly appreciate it.
