Dear British Prime Minister, David
Cameron,
Let's get it straight...
Elgin STOLE them, they are NOT the
Elgin Marbles.
The sculptures held captive in the
British Museum are
the PARTHENON Marbles
You cannot change the past, what's
done is done.
But you CAN do something about the
future,
You CAN change the present.
Do what's right.
Return the PARTHENON sculptures to
their rightful home,
Return the PARTHENON Sculptures to
Greece.
Global Greek World
There are no such things as the Elgin
Marbles.
There is a Michael Angelo David.
There is a Da Vinci Venus.
There is a Praxitelles Hermes.
There is a Turner ‘Fishermen at Sea’.
There are no Elgin Marbles!
Melina Mercouri,
Minister of Culture, Greece
in her speech to the Oxford Union in 1986
There are NO Elgin Marbles.
They are the PARTHENON Marbles.
The PARTHENON Sculptures.
Listen to Stephen Fry talk about the Parthenon Sculptures at the International Colloquy on the Parthenon held in Sydney in November 2013...
he tells it exactly as it is.
Thank you Stephen!
At Global Greek World, We ♥ Greece...and it shows!
