Hubris is the theme. Very Daedalus. The Romans are probably ultimately at fault.

As far as it goes, pretty much assuming the most out-there aspects of Greek and Roman science and philosophy are true, allowing for things like tangible perfect geometric forms and the like.

Caestus launched forth with his blade, but his opponents' strange, angled armour would not yield the attack. No matter what, no matter which angle he struck from, nor his strength of attack, nothing could stop the blow from deflecting, from being swung wide, as if the gods themselves were stopping Caestus's arm.

>>17202766

ActuallyI'mokaywiththisif:

The Romans somehow dropped Cohorts right into the cities to fight the locals with traditional tactics.

Let's face it, the Greeks had steam engines, only they saw them as an idle oddity, not as a civilisation-level breakthrough.

A simple thought for this setting.

The Greeks managed to actually create Plato's perfect forms; objects and concepts that so embody their fundamental nature that the rise above mundane objects. A sword, for example, is designed to cut and not break, so a Platonic sword can cut through just about anything and is extremely durable. Springs are designed to absorb energy as they coil, so a Platonic spring could absorb a tremendous amount of energy before being sprung. All the advanced technology is based on this. Archimedes laser? Used Platonic mirrors.

Only the truly great Philosopher-Artisans can make truly perfect Platonic items. Lesser men can instill some basic Platonic elements, but cannot make the items truly perfect. With the example of the sword, they could make it Platonically sharp, but not Platonically strong.

And then there were the great Philosopher-Kings who tried to make Platonic Men. It was an experiment of mixed success. They made men of Platonic Body but not Platonic Mind, and men of Platonic Mind but not Platonic body. The men of Platonic body were superhumanly strong and fast, nigh-immortal. The men of Platonic Mind were geniuses, natrual Philosopher-Kings and Philosopher-Artisans themselves. When they bred with normal men and women, the produced offspring who inherited some of their perfection, but not all. A man of Platonic Mind may produce a son who is a perfect Strategist, or a perfect composer, but not both. A man of Platonic Body's daughter might be immortal or super strong, but not both.

And of course, our heroes, the players, have a little Platonic blood in them...

>Only the truly great Philosopher-Artisans can make truly perfect Platonic items. Lesser men can instill some basic Platonic elements, but cannot make the items truly perfect. With the example of the sword, they could make it Platonically sharp, but not Platonically strong.

Jaenus took his steam-actuated rifle against the nine-headed beast against him. His men riled with fear, such a monster was beyond their meager paychecks.

The Hydra roared with a fearsome rumble that shook the very sountryside he stood upon.

Jaenus fired his weapon. He knew the glaived projectile would sever the beast's head (at least one of them), and the war fire it was coated in would seal the daemon's head. The glaive span forth...

>>17203134
I have to admit. The idea of immortal Greek heroes [in the original sense of the word, as 'guys who are the best at what they do'] running around with magical Platonic technology fighting harpies and minotaurs and shit sounds like a great campaign setting.

Then you could have bloodlines that go back to mystic beings, granting inherent tallents. Like a mystic blood line that grants divination; such as an oracle. Perhaps an 'Imortal' blood line that traces back/paralleled to/beside herculean figures, granting something to the effect of "+2 to any two Attributes, or +4 to a single Attribute"(to use D&D terms).

Another aspect could be, since other races also have the super-tech, Rome hasn't been nearly as stressful. They're still the single biggest and most formidable empire, but they've not dominated the rest of Italy, their expansion has all-but stopped.

The Philosphers are the men whom have contemplated the natures of reality for decades, and they have understood the universe and how to manipulate it. They are the highest, the cleverest, the most respected of society, and those they sire often go on to achieve great things. Be it philosopher-bards, or philosopher-architects, the arts' precepts remain the same - finding the Ultimate angles, the the Ultimate chords, the Ultimate shapes and patterns, that we may move to the God's mountain and challenge them their rights. We do not contest the Gods their home, but one day, hopefully, we might.

I think that may be taking it a hair too far. You'd have selective breeding and stuff, sure. But there's always got to be a working class, and as they are numerous, nobdoy's going to keep them on par with the fight'n class. Ergo, the average joe becomes more average (as the outright inferior are rooted out), but the warrior caste is still the WARRIOR CLASS!"

>>17203461

>I think that may be taking it a hair too far. You'd have selective breeding and stuff, sure. But there's always got to be a working class, and as they are numerous,

Take that shit to Sparta and ask them about their views on Eugenics.

>>17203470
That's Sparta. Sparta's a magical place.

>>17203461
The Greeks were very willing to consider wide-spread eugenics. I would not be surprised by a total biological caste system.

>>17203382

If you're going Greek: City-States.

If Roman: The Families and lineages of the nobles.

If some kind of Greco-Roman substitute, fuckit, whatever you want, that line is important.

>>17203483
> I would not be surprised by a total biological caste system.
I wouldn't either. I said they'd weed out the inferior people, but I don't think that they would start beefing up everybody to an equivalent level as their warrior and noble classes. A: Because it's easier to keep them in line that way and B: I think we're all aware of what happens romantically when you start telling people who they can and can't fuck.

>>17203461

You don't read much plato do you?

This isn't about breeding programs. They literally found the ULTIMATE TRUTH, a unifying theory if you will. With it you can do basically anything.

>>17203559
I thought we were seeking the Ultimate Truth, and Philosophers in the setting were getting damn close.

>>17203518

Oh you can fuck whoever you want. But you have to have at least some kids with this particular PERFECT SPECIMEN OF HUMANITY

>>17203559
Well, for the sake of not breaking the setting and adding a bit of drama, they have decoded bits of it. Philosophers are dedicated to working out aspects of the Ultimate Truth, pushing past the limits of science and into the Absolute in their chosen fields. But yeah. Figuring out how to make man into the platonic ideal of Man would give them a ton of free reign.

Shiiiit. The Platonic Dominion. Obsessed with creating the Perfect Man. The New Romans (made up of many Philosophers who defected due to realising the chaotic, changing nature of the universe) are fighting against them, and their Archimedian weaponry.

Dig too deeply into the realms of the ideals and one discovers that even the gods are but shallow reflections of the perfect truths they were meant to embody.

And they don't like their little secret getting out.

The first Herculites. Those gods-blessed of the Perfect musculature, that the Earth itself would obey.

>>17203799
The gods have become a great deal more silent to us since the first fall that brought our great nations into the dark ages. They speak instead to the Romans, those vagabonds who Aphrodite guided away from the Troy we felled so long ago that they may found a nation of their own. Under new names they guide the Roman forces to great victories, expanding their empire ever wider.

But they have not come for us, yet. Perhaps they remember those days long past when they gained the wisdom and power to rebel against their own makers.

And there are so many more of us than there were them when the Titans held sway.

Perhaps it is time, my brothers, that we went to seek the Romans instead.

>>17203938
Could be all of the above. The Gods have never gotten along, so even with their growing fear of the Greeks, they still can't stop bickering long enough to form a completely unified front amongst their new favorites. The Roman empire is still technically a whole, but each god tends to back and favour a section of it, and secretly believes that theirs is the best. Hence, Vulcan's chosen city is a huge industrial powerhouse turning out the finest non-Platonic weapons and armor in the world, whereas Pallas the goddess of crafts and wisdom is known for forces clad in marble armor that is just as much about beauty as it is protection.

It is not fun to be Caesar.

Pardon my douchebaggery, but, hasn't this been done before? The idea of a setting where greek philosophy is all true, with things like objects that are embodiments of the idea of the object and shit. Not to stifle discussion or anything, but there might be some useful conjecture in the archives if I wasn't too lazy to look for it.

>>17204019

It has happened before to my recollection, but a quick scrape of suptg showed no archive.

So carry on, archive this one instead.

The city outlined in Plato's Republic exists. It's totalitarian and entirely creepy... to anyone who doesn't live there. The people that DO live there are the happiest and most productive in the world, because the city itself is slowly becoming a reflection of the Platonic truth of a perfect society.

The Romans and the Spartans will both do absolutely anything to burn it the fuck down.

Why go elves, dwarves, when we can make it actually interesting. have the non-human races be all the crazy shit they thought existed, men with no heads and mouths on their torsos, guys with tails.

Countries/Empires and their strengths
Greece: Perfection in one aspect of stuff (platonically sharp weapons, platonically smooth mirrors)

Rome: Organization (one thousand men marching as one, perfectly)

Persia: ...also organization? Sweet tax code? I dunno as much about these guys.

Carthage: BOATS, ANIMALS

Other possible countries include Ethiopia, Egypt, european barbarians, india, Minoans.

>>17204123

>>17204135
Carthage has had something of a hard time. Between the huge successes of the Greek and Roman empires and the Curse of Dido making all of them a little bit fucking nuts, they're not quite so glorious as they might have been. But they and their elephants will FUCK YOU UP if you start any shit.

The Minoans still sleep, deep under Crete. The gods help you if you ever disturb them.

>>17204135
Don't forget Rome's kickin' infrastructure. Perhaps thanks to this Roman cities hold a really excellent quality of living, and their mining techniques create a valuable surplus of ore and minerals.

>>17204165
The Minoan culture on the surface was devastated by a massive tidal wave 1300 years before the founding of the city. A small portion of the inhabitants of the capital city escaped to the labyrinth. They raised up the spirit of the minotaur, and with his guidance navigated the labyrinth, which was far broader than the fool Theseus ever guessed, to the caves under their drowned city. They live there still, guided by the ghost of a monster, carving endless tunnels in search of the source of the tsunami that buried them.

Their soldiers are fearless, and for every man that falls three true romans will eagerly take his place in service to their great city!

The greek philosophers thought we can see because our eyes shot some sort of ray at everything. Properly trained, one can strengthen these rays and see clearly to the horizon.

Rising from the ashes of Ur, the Persian kings allied themselves with the spirits of the desert, the oasis, and the wind. Their Immortals blow away with the sand, and rise from the dunes, an iron fist on the throat of the enemies of the king. The winds tell all to the guardsmen, and only the canniest bandit dares loot and murder in their land.

>>17204201
>>17204234
When the hammer of Rome's wrath fell on Carthage, they had no fear. They had sat like a spider in its web on the trade of the world for half a thousand years, and were not such fools to believe it could last forever. As Rome's legions tore down her walls, Carthage's elite fled with their houses in great ships. the harbor opened, and much of the city took to the sea as a millireme. Carthage voyages still, the spider taken flight to escape its enemies. Even the might of great Rome can only chip away at the behemoth of a ship, surrounded always by her children, war galleys and fat merchant ships alike.

Holy fucking shit, I had this idea for ROME IN SPESS in my head for a while now. /tg/ really does have everything.

In any case, I think Celts would be the most punk in this setting.

>Celts? In Greece? Nigga please...

It's more likely than you think - the Celts embarked on a huge raid on Greece that was only checked after huge casualties had been taken, then they just went to Turkey, killed some natives and made a kingdom there. The Seleucids and Ptolemaic Egypt used them extensively as mercenaries (especially the Egyptians, who allowed them to live in Egypt. To this day one can see fair-haired, blue-eyed kids in Egypt) as did everyone else in the Hellenic worlds.

Also, sacking Rome successfully before the Vandals made it cool.

Basically, the Celts could be the most anarchic element in that world. Imagine Lobo in Rome.

Xenophon is -punk as fuck, but I see no elements of it in this setting.

>>17204534

Basically every kind of mercenary and barbarian back then was punk as fuck. After Alexander died and his Generals started squabbling it was a golden age for every mercenary in Europe.

>>17204507
It's about the theme, really. You're clearly thinkng 'Arabs' instead of 'ancient Persians'. The Persian empire was the last of a long line, with lineage nearly as old as fucking argiculture and continuity of knowledge. Imagine a sorcerer that has at his disposal lore from the first days of the world. Words of the first gods and the first spells Man wrought. Rituals that summon things older than Earth. Now imagine that same man is a king of the largest empire in the world. Whipping the sea would actually work just fine with a king like that.

>>17204522
Better yet, an army of bastards children of Lobo and Mad Max armed and armoured in little remains of Atlantean items they could scavenge off shore.

>>17204522

Also, horse-archers. Be they Parthians, Sarmatians, Scythians and the barbarians chasing them westwards - they all share a love for loot. Steam-powered horses? Augmented bows?

>>17204631
Centaurs.

>>17202964

Glad to see my idea went over well. I actually posted it in an older /tg/ thread that went kinda bonkers. I thought it got archived, but I can't find it in sup/tg/. Oh well. I started it with this picture, if anybody finds it.

Anyway, some more fluff.

The Platonic Men of Greece never numbered more than two dozen, and the strongest among them could still be killed, for even a perfect man must die. Still, with their power they rapidly rose to the top. Men of Platonic Mind took over City-States or founded new ones, ruling as Philosopher Kings. Men of Platonic Body erected great monuments or conquered their neighbors without effort.

Man was not meant to live alongside the Gods. Soon, lesser men began to resent the Platonic men, and while the Platonic Men of Mind strove to bring Platonic Justice to the world, the Men of Platonic Mind did not. There were rebellions and civil wars, and some of the Platonic Men were killed. Many fled Greece.

And some traveled to a little known land called Latium, where they helped a fledgling Latin League expand and grow. In time, the Platonic Men of Body outlived the Platonic Men of Mind, and then they and their offspring visited the sins of the fathers upon the sons; they returned to Greece.

>>17204224
>>17204246
>>17204377
>>17204561
Sorry to disappoint you, but if we're still working in the timeline of the OP, that is Rome only rising against Greece, then there was no Persia at that time. It was all hellenized under the Seleucids, and even the Parthians who began their conquests in mid-200s, had quite a hard-on for hellenized culture. Hell, Ptolemaic Egypt was probably more foreign and mysterious at that time.

>>17204561
All true. So, this is fantasy ancient history, who better for a ruler of that ancient empire than Gilgamesh? Besides him being Sumerian, of course.

>>17204714
>Platonic Men of Mind

I think you mean body for the second one.

Keep in mind, the tech will be limited by what they can build out of Platonic items. Platonic springs, for example, could power great clockwork engines. Moreover, true Platonic items are rare, because men enlightened enough to produce them are rare. Lesser versions, constructed by lesser artisans, will be more common place.

I think guns would be less likely then, say, Platonic Bows, or automatic crossbows built from more simple Platonic parts.

As for Greek monsters, the natural way to explain them is as a side effect of Philosopher-Kings attempting to create Platonic Men; they had a few misfires along the way. When they accidentally produced some human-bird hybrids, or some giant multi-headed snakes, they named them after creatures from their legends/religion that they resembled.

Derp, you're right, I did.

Also, what if a Man of Platonic Body who fled Greece went to Persia and became a king there? Built up a cult of king-as-god worship.

>>17204776
Which is indeed the best way to do these kinds of settings. Like Deadlands, where everything cool about the wild west was happening all at once. That setting's pretty kickass.

>>17204776

hellanistic greece,

ptolemy era egypt,

Pre-sinking atalantis.

>>17204872
I'd say drop atlantis, never actually existed nothing to parody. Switch Persia to Cyrus the Great, much better than Xerxes.

>>17204756
>Platonic crossbows firing bolts so fast they hit their target almost instantaneously
Of course, only reloadable by the Platonically strong.

>>17204903

Actually, Atlantis could be a bit of fun. A Platonic Man of Mind decides to found an enlightened city-state free of interference and with the help of numerous Philosopher Artisans builds Atlantis as a model Utopia out at sea.

Of course, the weaknesses of lesser men lead to ruin. It'd basically be Ancient Greek Rapture.

...you realize we could combine every single "punk" setting under one umbrella with this, right?

I vote that we put no steampunk in this at all, because for fuck's sake that shit is cancer to settings.

We don't need to throw everything in. Sandalpunk is fine. All of the things you mentioned involve a dehumanisation of life, something that the 'Platonic Men' are totally the opposite of.

>>17205061
