You have no right to the Marbles!

Far away from their native (and my mother) land, the Parthenon Marbles have been situated at the British (Smugglers, I would add) Museum for over 150 years. The Museum insolently claims that they hold them "in trust for the whole world" (sic!) and that the marbles are "legally obtained". Read about their history and the points of view of the Greek and British governments, the British Labour Party and the British Museum.

Give back the Elgin marbles, let them lie
unsullied, pure beneath the Attic sky ...
... let them hear again the sounds that float
around Athene's shrine on morning's breeze ...
... give back the marbles; let them vigil keep
where art still lies, over Pheidias' tomb, asleep.

Verses by Roger Casement; an Irish revolutionary who was hanged by the British during the First World War.
