Some of the images of objects stolen from one of the museums in Olympia can now be seen in a video on (UK) Channel 4's
website. Cambridge researcher Christos Tsirogiannis makes the important point that the objects are well documented and will be recognised if they are offered for sale.
This theft from a world-class heritage site is a crime against cosmospolitan society (not least in an Olympic year). Civilised commentators will condemn this act without reservation.
A short
statement (in Greek) is available from the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.
