Dr. Zoë Kontes (Kenyon College), Looting Antiquity: Greece’s Lost Marbles
September 6 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Sponsored by: AIA-Dayton Society
AIA Society: Dayton

The Parthenon Marbles may be the most famous sculptures removed from an ancient Greek building, but they are far from the only ones. Marble sculptures from the Temple of Aphaia on the island of Aegina and the mountaintop Temple of Apollo at Bassae were spirited away and sold at auction in the 19th century; they have remained abroad ever since. This talk will discuss the adventures the sculptures have had in their modern history, consider the important question of where they belong, and review the current state of looting in Greece.
