Why are the Elgin marbles a subject of controversy?
The controversy derives from the different Greek and British views as to who should own the Elgin Marbles. From the Greek perspective, the marbles used to be part of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece and Greece maintains they should be returned there since they are a part of Greek cultural heritage. Britain says Lord Elgin was allowed to remove these from the Acropolis by the Ottoman Turkish government that was in power at the time that Elgin made the request. Therefore, the British legally removed them, even though the Greeks at that time were not consulted. Also these marble reliefs would have been destroyed by now if they had been left in their original place because of the various wars that were fought in Athens since Elgin took the marbles out of Greece. So Britain has preserved the Elgin marbles for 200 years and ought to keep them.
Why did lord elgin take the marbles?
Lord Elgin took the Parthenon Marbles from Greece to Britain in the early 19th century, claiming he sought to preserve them from neglect and potential destruction. He obtained permission from the Ottoman authorities, who controlled Greece at the time. Elgin believed that the marbles would be better preserved in the British Museum, where they could be appreciated and studied. This action has sparked ongoing debates about cultural heritage and the repatriation of artifacts.
