What's your opinion about the fate of the Elgin Marbles? Do you think Britain should hang on to them or should they be returned to Greece?My opinion (for what it's worth) is that they should remain here.OK, so they were originally part of the Parthenon but at the time of their removal it is recorded fact that things from the Parthenon were being burned to make lime for building! Elgin said he had permission to remove what he did so really he saved them from destruction?As time passes, things that were little regarded at one time becomes "desirable" by those that parted with them? It's like someone giving away an item but many years later when it's realised it has some value, the original donor then wants to claim it back so just who is the villain of the piece?
