The Parthenon Marbles are Greek and must return to their home... They're not British and they have no right to keep them in the British museum... The Parthenon Marbles must return to Athens, where they belong.

He took the marbles to decorate his house in england..not to preserve them or something like that..!! he sold them to the british museum when he was broke

The repatriation of the Marbles has been an issue in Greece long before the crisis. Melina Merkouri has fought for the cause since the 60's. Αν είσαι όντως Έλληνας, δικαίωμα σου να πιστεύεις οτι θες. Άλλλωστε η δημοκρατία και η ελευθερία του λόγου είναι γνώρισμα του ελληνικού πολιτισμού. Όμως μην χρησιμοποιείς αβάσιμα επιχειρήματα.

@SirGeorge8600

Stelios was an extreme polited on that more than he should ,the fact is that these are STOLEN and they should have been reutned back a long time now ,end of story,would you like to see any british marbles to Greece and not returned ,i am sure then england would make a war to Greece,we are not polite any more GIVE THEM BACK ?

@SirGeorge8600 The Greek goverment and greeks in general have been asking for the marbles to come back where they belong for decades. So its not a case of recession times and boosting the economy.

[SirGeorge8600]

As a Greek I say keep them in the British museum; Brits have the best world historians and they fully regard them as Greek and have the most to say about them. The Greeks just want them to boost up tourist economy now that the recession hit...long before they didn't say a single word about these stones...

It is a moral duty to return the marbles to Greece, we must not forget that we owe the legacy of our Western culture back what is not theirs for the love of the culture and humanity.

[intelectualdark]

Es un deber moral devolver las pizas robadas a Grecia, no debemos olvidar que le debemos el legado de nuestra cultura occidental, devuelvan lo que no les pertenece por amor a la cultura y humanidad.

[costarelos]

Like most british collonies, they will come back to the people of their motherland
