German University Returns Tiny Piece of Parthenon to Greece

The University of Heidelberg has returned a tiny piece of the Parthenon’s marble frieze to the Greek government, the Associated Press reported. The German university’s relief, which measures 3 inches by 5 inches, depicts a man’s foot. Greece is still trying to regain possession of the so-called Elgin marbles, a large part of the ancient building’s sculptural decor, which were removed in the early 19th century by a British diplomat.
