The Oscar winning film director Costas Gavras created a 13 minutes film that was a part of the Acropolis museum exhibition since its opening earlier this year.

    “Mortal!” -twas thus she spake- “that blush of shame
    Proclaims thee Briton, once a noble name;
    First of the mighty, foremost of the free,

    Know, Alaric and Elgin did the rest.
    That all may learn from whence the plunderer came,
    The insulted wall sustains his hated name:

    Fragment from ‘The Curse of Minerva’ by Lord Byron, 1811
