The newly-established Swedish Committee for the return of the Parthenon Marbles has organized a conference titled ''To whom does the past belong? The case of the Parthenon Marbles.'' Well-known names of Swedish art and literature are members of the committee, according to a relevant announcement by Greece's culture ministry. Greece's positions were outlined at the event by archaeologist Eleni Korka, who made a historical account of the bid to have the Marbles returned and referred to proposals for an exchange of works made to the British Museum by Culture Minister Evangelos Venizelos.
