One of the greatest artistic achievements ever is the Parthenon. Many
sculptures were removed from the temple and transported to England. The famous
"Elgin Marbles" are in London now. But there is a big question: where should
these marbles be? Here, we tell the story of the Parthenon Marbles, based on
the pamphlet
"The Parthenon and the Elgin Marbles"
by
Epaminondas Vranopoulos
, published by the Society for Euboian Studies in 1985. We would like to thank
Mr Vranopoulos for granting us permission to reproduce extracts from his
pamphlet.
