Title: LORD BYRON AND THE PARTHENON MARBLES
Authors: ARGYRIOU, ANTIOPI
Issue Date: 2023
Description: The present educational scenario brings together Literature with Political and Cultural History. Starting from an excerpt of the poem Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, written by Lord Byron, the famous 19th c. British Romantic poet and Philhellene, it links the literary context of the poem – with many references to the Romantic view of ancient Greece and to the contemporary early 19th c. Greek War of Independence - with the acquisition of the Parthenon Marbles by Lord Elgin, British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire and the scorn of Lord Byron to Lord Elgin for his treacherous act. During the three teaching periods, the students are encouraged to become active participants of research activities (mainly in groups) in class, in order to investigate: a) the literary and political figure of Lord Byron, b) the historical context of the poem, and c) the implications of this poem – and other parallel poems – for the issue of the Parthenon Marbles that are until now exhibited in the British Museum, but are requested to return to the Acropolis Museum in Athens.
