Athena works with philosophers through time to create Plato's republic.
It's an interesting premise that was only adequately executed. There's a debate between Socrates and Athena, which could have been an amazing display of rhetoric but ended up disappointing. The ending was flat. The characters all sounded the same. It got the stars it did because it was still an interesting exploration of the republic. I just wish anothet author had the idea.
