AS PART OF THE LITERATURE
DEPARTMENT’S AIM to nurture its
students’ appreciation for the arts, Anne
Frances Sangil, Vice Chair of the Literature
Department, invited the Ambassador of
Greece, Her Excellency Xenia Stefanidou,
to give the humanities students a
discussion on the continuing controversy
about the Parthenon marbles. The talk was
held at the Yuchengco building last March
4.
The Ambassador shared her insights on
marbles from the British Museum. The
subject has been a focus of debate in the
international art scene for some time now.
She ended her talk with a 6-minute video
of the construction of The Acropolis
Museum’s Parthenon Gallery.
“The Literature department prides itself in
including Greek philosophy and culture in
many of its courses like Drama and Literary
Criticism. The invitation extended to the
Ambassador sort of seals that intellectual
