What is another word for Elgin marbles?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛld͡ʒɪn mˈɑːbə͡lz] (IPA) 
The Elgin Marbles, also known as the Parthenon Marbles, are a group of classical Greek marble sculptures that were originally part of the Parthenon temple in Athens. They were removed by the Earl of Elgin in the early 19th century and later acquired by the British Museum in London, where they remain on display today. While the term "Elgin Marbles" is the most commonly used, other synonyms include the "Parthenon Sculptures," "Acropolis Museum Marbles," and "Phidias Sculptures." The ownership of the marbles has long been a contentious issue between Greece and the United Kingdom, with Greece calling for their return to Athens.
