THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO RETURN THE MARBLES
As we report below, the Labour government, from its first days in office, declared its opposition to the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece. Now the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of the House of Commons is to conduct an inquiry into the return of cultural property. Does this signify a change of heart by the government? Could this inquiry open the door to the return of the Parthenon Marbles? We very much hope so, but we won't be holding our breath.
Below we reprint the press release announcing the setting up of the inquiry. The parts which have particular importance for the case of the Parthenon Marbles have been highlighted in bold.
Text of the Press release from the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of the House of Commons.
20 October 1999
At its meeting today the Culture, Media and Sport Committee of the House of Commons decided in principle to conduct an inquiry into The Return of Cultural Property. The Committee is likely to begin taking oral evidence in February or early March 2000.
The terms of reference will be announced by the Committee in due course, probably early in the New Year. The inquiry will be concerned in part with measures to control the illicit trade in cultural property

Links about Greece History of Modern Greece The first independent Greek state was established in 1830 and occupied only a small part of present-day Greek territory, the less developed economically Peloponnese, Central Greece, Cyclades and Sporades islands. The first governor of the country was Ioannis Kapodistrias, whose reform policies created enemies. Kapodistrias was assassinated in 1831. Amid the ensuing anarchy, the Great Powers intervened and by the Treaty of London (1832) imposed a hereditary king, Otto, son of the King of Bavaria. However in 1843, Otto gave in to popular pressure and conceded a conservative Constitution, which regrettably was often ignored. As a result, Otto was finally forced to abdicate and leave the country in 1862. The new Constitution of 1864 established a Constitutional Monarchy, according to which the king continued to be the head of state, although there was provision for the introduction of a single-Chamber parliament to be elected by universal male suffrage. Meanwhile, a new king was enthroned, George I of the Danish House of Glucksburg, the Ionian Islands were united with Greece, followed by the annexation of Thessaly and part of Epirus a few years later (1881). The process towards modernisation In 1875, after a fierce struggle waged by Charilaos Trikoupis, the principle of parliamentarism was introduced. According to this principle, the head of the Greek State is obliged to ask the leader of the political party with the parliamentary majority to form a government. In the last decades of the 19th century, Greece underwent a period of institutional reform. Political life was dominated by the strong personality of Trikoupis, whose governance was marked by radical reforms in the army as well as in the systems of administration, justice and education.

Bulgarian Literature
Bulgarian Literature, literature created by the inhabitants of Bulgaria. Bulgarian literature began in the second half of the 9th century AD with the translations by St Cyril and St Methodius of religious works from Greek into the vernacular, now known as Old Church Slavonic. From this period until the Turkish conquest of Bulgaria (1396), Bulgarian literature consisted mainly of similar translations of the Gospels, lives of the saints, sermons, and other religious material. Historical chronicles were also written. During the Turkish and Greek ecclesiastical domination (1396-1878), Bulgarian literature virtually ceased to exist. The 19th century marked the beginning of modern Bulgarian literature and the awakening of national consciousness. It had its origin in historical works such as Istoria Slaveno-Bolgarska (History of the Slavic-Bulgarians), written in a form of ecclesiastical Slavonic mixed with popular language by a monk, Paisij, about 1762. After 1830, a movement in Bulgaria for freedom from Turkish rule and Greek church domination, the establishment of Bulgarian schools and printing establishments, and the publication of Bulgarian grammars and other educational works all played a part in producing a new Bulgarian literature. At the same time, novobulgarski, the new literary Bulgarian language based on the vernacular of its eastern dialects, was formed.

The history of Greece
Greece has a history stretching back more than 4.000 years. The people of the mainland, called Hellenes, organised great naval and military expeditions, and explored the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, going as far as the Atlantic Ocean and the Caucasus Mountains. One of those expeditions, the siege of Troy, is narrated in the first great European literary work, Homer's Iliad. Numerous Greek settlements were founded throughout the Mediterranean, Asia Minor and the coast of North Africa as a result of travels in search of new markets. During the Classical period (5th century B.C.), Greece was composed of city-states, the largest being Athens, followed by Sparta and Thebes. A fierce spirit of independence and love of freedom enabled the Greeks to defeat the Persians in famous battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis and Plataea. In the second half of the 4th century BC, the Greeks, led by Alexander the Great, conquered most of the then known world and sought to hellenize it.

: Greece - The earliest known prehistoric civilizations occupy the Aegean world. This period marks the rise and fall of the MINOAN and MYCENAEAN civilization. 2200 BCE : Greece - Indo-European invaders, speaking the earliest forms of Greek, enter the mainland of Greece, and the MYCENAEAN CIVILIZATION (named after the leading Greek city on the peninsula from 1200 BCE ) emerges. 1500 BCE : Greece - MINOAN CIVILIZATION (named after the Cretan ruler Minos) reaches its height with its central power in Knossos on the island of Crete. This culture is apparently more female-oriented and peaceful than others at the time. 1400 BCE : Greece - MYCENAEAN CIVILIZATION replaces MINOAN CIVILIZATION after the destruction of Knossos. Bronze weapons, war-scenes on art, Cyclopean defence walls, and the fact that male warriors were buried with their weapons provide evidence for the claim that the Mycenaeans were militaristic. The horse-drawn chariot emerges around this time. The Mycenaeans dominate the Aegean world for about 200 years. 1250 BCE : Greece - Though this is disputed, some scholars believe that the

Perseus Award - February 1998
Introduction
From the tiny island of Crete throughout most of the known world ( via Alexander the Great ), the Greek standard of excellence spread. "All men by nature deserve to know" according to Aristotle and the Greek Scholars set out to learn about and put order to their universe. Their independent and individualistic character gave the world democracy. Scientists like Euclid, Pythagoras and Archimedes advanced the study of mathematics, while historians Herodotus and Thucydides brought accuracy, reason and even objectivity to the recording of events. The Greeks investigated the metaphysical as well as the physical worlds and in doing so broadened the base of human knowledge.
Greeks attained the same perfect harmony and proportion in their art that they believed existed in the natural world. Lifelike sculptures of ideal athletes, heroes and gods dominated the classical period while emotion took center stage during the Hellenistic era. The ruins of ancient temples give evidence of the proportion, balance and harmony of classical architecture. Drama was elevated to an art form. Greek art, architecture, drama, scientific achievements, philosophies and government have had a marked influenced on the modern world.
