THE ACROPOLIS OF ATHENS
The UNESCO site claims:
The Athenian Acropolis is the supreme expression of the adaptation of architecture to a natural site. This grand composition of perfectly balanced massive structures creates a monumental landscape of unique beauty consisting of a complete series of masterpieces of the 5th century BC. The monuments of the Acropolis have exerted an exceptional influence, not only in Graeco-Roman antiquity, a time when in the Mediterranean world they were considered exemplary models, but in contemporary times as well.

ENGLISH - Law, Morals and the Parthenon Marbles
==
I am Greek and I say …
I don’t consider the Parthenon as just an ancient Greek monument, or just a monument of democracy.
I think it as an ecumenical symbol that cannot remain divided.
If the British Museum, a big, world class museum, considers that cutting out of the frieze which is like a parade, and keeping it prisoner as one of its own pieces is something that represents world culture, this is a mistake, from a political and a moral aspect.
==
The British Museum says …
The Parthenon Sculptures play a pivotal role in telling a world story at the British Museum. Together with the wider collection, they help modern-day audiences see how the world they know is shaped by the past.
==
I say …
A museum cannot be called ecumenical when it teaches …
What does the British Museum teach with the Parthenon Sculptures ? Stealing ?
==
The case the British Museum makes is in my opinion very weak because rests on the case about legality, and If you go back in about 1800 was not state of modern Greece, but there was state of the United Kingdom or Britain, and the British Museum trustees rely upon an Act of Parliament passed in 1816 … We are now in 2024 ... Come on British Museum … Get real ! … Get modern … Remember that we are now are living in a total different post imperial … post colonial … world … in which countries should do the decent thing … and don’t go and steal …
And going a little back to history … regarding the motivation of Lord Elgin in removing the marbles … Quite a lot depends on how much trust we put on what he said about what he was trying to do … Actually his first motive … just like that of his fellow aristocrats was to get hold of some nice Greek things to bring back to his home up in Northern Scotland … so nothing to do such as saving the sculptures for the Nation …
Though he was of course Britain’s ambassador to the Ottoman Empire and so his first motivation was purely personal … When that become unfeasible … that in other words he spent so much money, that he needed to have some money back, he offered to sell them to the British Nation, which required an Act of Parliament … So his second motivation was to recoup the money he had spent not for the good of the British Nation but he had spend on his own behalf.

Who Owns History? The Case for the Return of the Parthenon Marbles
==
Cultural heritage belongs to the people of whose history it is a part of, unless its return would impose danger to the artwork itself. And since the movement for the restitution of cultural property is based on human rights and international law, governments that want it back must show respect for the rights of the peoples on whose behalf they make the claim.
Who Owns History? not only delves into the crucial debate over the Marbles, but examines how the past can be experienced by everyone, as well as by the people of the country of origin.

Reunite the Parthenon Marbles
This web page and the A big thank you to its creator Lazaros Filippidis
The aim of this web page is to contribute to this effort by increasing the public awareness on this issue employing a witty and humorous method.
Thus, Lazaros Filippidis designed a short series of funny illustrations: the Marbles with an Attitude. Now the Marbles talk and express their feelings. We can find out what they want and what they are thinking about. We can now clearly read what the Centaur and the Lapithe want, how the Cariatid feels or what Selene's Horse is pondering about.
To allow their message to reach even more people Lazaros Filippidis has designed some special T-shirts that depict the Marbles with an Attitude as prints on the front of these T-shirts.

Melina Mercouri's Statement
“ What does Shakespeare mean to England?
Saint Paul’s cathedral?
What does the Taj Mahal mean to India?
What do the paintings in the Sistine Chapel mean to Italy?
The Parthenon marbles are our pride. They are our identity.
They are today’s link with Greek Excellence.
They are creations synonymous with our concepts of democracy and freedom.“
---
They are our sacrifices. They are our noblest symbol of excellence. They are a tribute to the democratic philosophy. They are our aspirations and our name. They are the essence of Greekness."
==============
Η δήλωση της Μελίνας Μερκούρη.
«Τι σημαίνει ο Σαίξπηρ για την Αγγλία;
Ο καθεδρικός του Αγίου Παύλου;
Τι σημασία έχει το Ταζ Μαχάλ για την Ινδία;
Η Καπέλα Σιξτίνα για την Ιταλία;
Τα Μάρμαρα του Παρθενώνα είναι η περηφάνια μας. Είναι η ταυτότητα μας.
Είναι ό, τι μας συνδέει με το Ελληνικό Θαύμα.
Είναι δημιουργίες συνώνυμες με τις έννοιες της Δημοκρατίας και της Ελευθερίας.»
---
Είναι οι θυσίες μας. Είναι το ευγενέστερο σύμβολο τελειότητας. Είναι φόρος τιμής στη δημοκρατική φιλοσοφία. Είναι η ουσία της ελληνικότητας.

We, the users of the Internet obtain power and we are able to mobilize the international public opinion. Our goal can be achieved this way.
Do you believe this is fair? If yes, help this goal come true.
