if we ever build these
mighty civilisation simulating computers
we can recreate an ancient greece
see the poems Σαπφω
* writes
other lost works
other great times
bardic celtic britain
the whole pre–writing world
the start of language
excitement discovery
rushing fumes a revving car
we’ll create new paradigms of history
what would homer have sung if troy had won
what would shakespeare have played if europe were turk
what would you have read if europe united
*Psappha or Sappho, subject to my ignorant attempt at ancient Greek
