Title: Elgin Marbles
Post by: on January 03, 2005, 09:30:08 pm

Why are the Greeks in such a lather over the Elgin Marbles?   Elgin is on the coast between Inverness and Lossiemouth.  It's only right and proper that they should be in Scotland - right Paulham?

Er - weren't they named after Lord Elgin - more precisely - didn't he name them after himself?
