When Lord Elgin removed the sculptures from the pediment of the Parthenon he:?
A. Preserved them for posterity
B. Sold them at auction
C. affirmed Britain’s superiority over Greece
D. saved them from the Turks?
Dull is the eye that will not weep to see
Thy walls defaced, thy mouldering shrines removed
By British hands, which it had best behoved
To guard those relics ne’er to be restored.
Curst be the hour when from their isle they roved,
And once again thy hapless bosom gored,
And snatch’d thy shrinking gods to northern climes abhorred!
from
“Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage”
by Lord Byron
I guess this is my answer;
A and D
