WHEN the services of
Lord byron anu Lord Byron to Greece
Greece' in her struggle for in
dependence as we'll as his immortal
poetical tributes to her glorious past are
taken into consideration it seems strange
that statue of the poet should have
refused place on the noted Constitu-
ton Square of Athens. The statue was
executed by Falguiere by order OF De-
metrius Stefanvoik Skylitzi, Greek of
Constantinople, who made fortune in
London and then built marble palace
in Athens. The statue represents Greece
opening her arms TO Byron at the feet OF
whom an unclaimed slave arises. The
conception is noble and the execution
faultless, but M. Trucoupis said that
Athens dared not accept the splendid
gift on the condition mentioned by the
owner. The statue was then offered to
England by it's owner, then to Turkey,
and then to Argentine, each country for
various reasons being unable to accept it.
Then the wealthy owner of the statue
died and now his brother has accepted
a place for it in Athens. and although it
will not be placed on Constitution
Square, it will have the next best place
looking toward the Parthenon despoiled
of its ancient glories by time. the Turk
and Lord Elgin. Were Byron himself
alive to see what state lie free spirit
of Greece has sunk as shown in this
story OF his own statues we might have

menting degeneracy that scarcely
seemed possible to the awakened Greece
of Bozzaris and Missolonghi.
