A readers' poll by the Sunday Times showed that 78% of participants support the demand for the repatriation of the Parthenon sculptures, exhibited at the British Museum to Greece where they can be joined with the rest of the sculptures on the world-famous Parthenon freeze.
The scuptures were taken from Greece to the UK by Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin and ambassador of England to Constantinople in the late summer of 1801, marking the beginning of the long dispute of tjeir ownership.
