A part of Parthenon (Acropolis) .. out of place (click to enlarge)

British museum 1992

They have not changed since 1992 ! I photographed them recently. The poet says: ...Ta koula agalmata pou ehete sta mousia sas mono tin anapiria sas dihnoun...

For those, Dimitri, who are not aware of the case of Elgin marbles, I am giving the text which I read lately on the web

 

http://www.versobooks.com/books/ghij/h-titles/hitchens_elgin_marbles.shtml

 

about the new book of Christopher Hitchens, titled

 

THE PARTHENON MARBLES The case for Reunification

 

"The opening of the New Acropolis Museum in Athens in spring 2008 provides the opportunity to re-state the case for the return of the Parthenon Marbles (formerly known as the Elgin Marbles) to Athens. The British Museum’s long-standing objection that there is nowhere in Athens to house the Parthenon Marbles is answered in emphatic style. Meanwhile, decisions concerning the restitution of cultural artefacts are increasingly recognized as of national importance, and are no longer left solely to curators and museum directors. With new contributions from leading authorities, this new edition of Christopher Hitchens’ elegantly argued and characteristically forthright book will make a powerful contribution to ensuring that the Parthenon Marbles return to their place of origin."

 

I personally have not read this book and I can not criticize or recommend it, but I hope that perhaps it will help those who are not aware of the case, to get some information of the latest news on this subject.

 

I did that in order to help our fellow photographers who are commenting or rating this photo, to have an idea about its back story..

 

Best regards
