On February 2nd 1998, the fourth and fifth grade of our
school, after visiting the «Studies Center» of Acropolis ascended to its Rock and they
were also shown round to its monuments ( Parthenon, Erechthion, Propylea, Temple of Athena
Niki ) and its museum. The teachers of our school after having acquainted the students of
the fourth, fifth and sixth grade, with the history of the marbles and statues which were
stolen and they ‘re now abroad, decided to have write a composition under the title: «I
‘m writing to an Englishman about the necessity of returning the marbles of Parthenon
back to Greece» so as for them to be able to express their thoughts and points of view
about such an important cultural issue. So we display here their compositions in Greek and
English, hoping to provide the users of this net with useful information on this matter.
Respectfully yours
John Ferentinos
