Ancient Greek sculpture

The official request by global luxury brand Gucci to hold a fashion show at the Parthenon in Athens on June 1 has caused some uproar in Greece. According to newspaper Eleftheros Typos, the company has also asked to record the fashion event, but the chances of the Greek authorities accepting its request are slim.

Turkey on Dec. 6 announced its support for Greece's fight to get back from Britain the famous Elgin Marbles - ancient Greek sculptures also known as the Parthenon Marbles which were taken from Athens in the 19th century.
