I spent the whole weekend struggling with it, toiling away at it, lashing out against it. Alas, it was of no use. I…

hundred years ago Lord Elgin relocated Marble sculptures from the Parthenon located in Athens. The Marbles are now located in a British Museum, however Lord Elgin was never granted permission to take the marbles from the rightful home in Athens.

The Parthenon marble collection originated from the…
