Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThey were taken in the shadows of empire—chiseled from sacred stone, packed into crates, and shipped across the sea under a veil of diplomacy and deception.Over 200 years later, the Parthenon Marbles still sit in the British Museum, far from the sunlit Acropolis where they were born. Were they rescued—or stolen? Preserved—or plundered?The debate over their return is more than a cultural squabble. It’s a reckoning with colonial legacy, historical theft, and the uneasy question: who owns the past?Join Keith, Georgia Nakou, and Nick Malkoutzis as they dive deep into the murky waters of legal ownership, imperial arrogance, and the haunting power of cultural memory. Is it finally time for Elgin to lose his marbles?Referral Links: The Elgin Marbles The Parthenon Marbles Support the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
