Losing my Elgin Marbles
from Sibyl Service Hosted by Sophie Dibben
Archeologist Angus and I delve into the enduring symbol of Ancient Athens - the Acropolis. On top of which stands the Parthenon, Athena Nike Temple, and the Frieze. It's not all sunshine and rainbows because missing from the Acropolis are the "Elgin" marbles, stored away in the British Museum. This really grinds Angus's gears, particularly in the current climate of post-colonialism.
