State of Play with the Parthenon Marbles

State of Play with the Parthenon Marbles

By: Paul Neeson

Podcast: The Nicholson Collection of Antiquities

In this episode we speak to Professor Vrasidas Karalis, Sir Nicholas Laurantus Professor of Modern Greek and Byzantine Studies at the University of Sydney, about the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Athens Greece to the purpose built Acropolis Museum, which opened its doors in 2009.
For the last 20 years, Professor Karalis’ main area of research has been in Modern Greek, Byzantine, Cultural Studies and more recently New Testament Studies. He has also worked in translation, especially of the Australian Nobel Laureate Patrick White and translated three of his major novels into Greek (VossThe VivisectorA Cheery Soul). Professor Karalis talks passionately about the history of the marbles and the growing interest in the return to their rightful home.
