Samenvatting
In 1801 Lord Elgin, then Britisch ambassador to the Turkish government in Athens, had pieces of the frieze of the Parthenon sawn off and removed to Britain, where they remain, igniting a storm of controversy which has continued. The author recounts the history of these precious sculptures and forcefully makes the case for their return to Greece. |
