Here is a quirky essay about repatriating looted antiquities.
Statues of Limitations: Repatriate the Riace Bronzes?
Published by murraymcclellan
As a retired teacher who has fled the US and is now living in Spain, and as someone who has until now eschewed most forms of social media, I am belatedly beginning to create an online presence. To that end, I am using this WordPress website to archive some of my miscellaneous non-academic writing. I hope that some of my friends and former colleagues may enjoy this collection, which consists mainly of political editorials, light-weight essays, and silly poems. I also post here the latest version of my US History textbook, Key Moments in American History. View all posts by murraymcclellan

Murray,
This is not rambling at all–in fact, very easy and enjoyable to follow. Thanks for publishing it!

Thanks Susan! Will you give me “quirky” for suggesting the Riace Bronzes be expatriated to Greece? There are plenty of other art works in Italy that the Romans plundered two millennia ago, but we really do not know where exactly they came from. My essay seems to have been downloaded 17 times in Greece–maybe the major of Argos has seen it!
