The Mentor English brick near Kythera Island 1802
The Mentor was a British brick sunk off Kithera Island, North-West of Crete, in consequence of adverse weather conditions. It was carrying a precious cargo: the unvaluable marble frieze of the Parthenon (left), sculpted by Pheidias. It was removed by Thomas Bruce, the Earl of Elgin, and sent to London. . Il
Mentor era un brigantino Britannico affondato al largo
dellIsola di Kithera (Citera), a Nord-Ovest di Creta, a causa di avverse
condizioni meteorologiche. It
seems that not only Greek people but the Gods themselves got angry for
the despoiling of the marvelous temple, and the ship sunk during a tempest,
victim of Poseidon's fury! Sembra
che non solo i Greci, ma gli Dei stessi fossero irritati per la
spogliazione del meraviglioso tempio, e la nave affondō nel mare in
tempesta, vittima delle furia di Poseidone! . |
