Description: The Parthenon on its hill above Athens is one of the world's most famous buildings. The 'looted' Elgin Marbles - in the British Museum, the Louvre, Copenhagen and elsewhere - are a global cause celebre. But what actually are they?
Synopsis: In an engrossing book - one of a coming small and quite loose 'series' on wonders of the world - such as the Colosseum, Stonehenge, the Pyramids, the Alhambra -Mary Beard, biographer, reviewer and leading classicist tells the history and explains the significance of the Temple of Athena, the divine patroness of the ancient Athenian Empire, and of the great sculptures which adorned it, now dispersed and some like the gold and ivory image of the goddess lost for ever. She tells too the story of its later ruin and the removal of the marbles, and offers some stimulating thoughts on the matter.
