Greece returns relics, nudges UK on Parthenon marbles
Original: Greece returns priceless relics – and suggests UK should follow suit with Parthenon marbles
Greece has handed back a set of priceless ancient relics, using the occasion to suggest Britain should do the same with the Parthenon marbles held by the British Museum. The move is being read as a renewed diplomatic push in Athens' long-running campaign for the sculptures' return, framing repatriation as a standard Greece itself is willing to meet.
Why now: The gesture revives the long-running dispute over the Parthenon sculptures and puts fresh pressure on the UK ahead of ongoing repatriation talks.
