A Modest Proposal by Stephen Fry : http://www.stephenfry.com/2011/12/19/a-modest-proposal/5/

Stephen pays tribute to Christopher Hitchens and concludes that  'It’s time we lost our marbles.'

After becoming intensely interested in the events surrounding the removal of the Parthenon marbles, author Tom Jackson undertook considerable research here in Athens and in the UK to discover the truth about the highly controversial subject.

21st Annual Runciman Lecture,Thursday 2 February 2012, Great Hall, Strand Campus, 18.00

Looking at the Athenian Acropilis: from modern times to antiquity

Speaker: William St Clair

William St Clair will discuss the ways in which the Acropolis has historically been interpreted by three main constituencies, the people of Athens, visitors from abroad, and those who only saw Athens in their imaginations with the help of pictures. Beginning in modern times when current viewing conventions were invented, and going back through chronological layers, he suggests how his approach can improve our understanding of how the Acropolis was understood in antiquity.
