The strangest reaction I've seen to what I consider a very positive effort on the part of Prime Minister Mitsotakis to "get the marbles back home" comes in the form of media attacks that anything less than the complete, unequivocal renunciation of any claim to the marbles and their no-strings-attached return by the Museum will brand Greece's PM as a "sell out."

As one can imagine, there is a variety of models by which this is happening. I, for one, give two thumbs up to any efforts that will lead to these artifacts ending up where they came from.Stan Trolliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608236210727280695noreply@blogger.com
