A couple visits the Parthenon hall at the Acropolis museum in Athens October 10, 2014. Human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin Clooney, fresh from her marriage to Hollywood heart-throb George Clooney last month, is heading to Athens to advise the Greek government in its battle to repatriate the ancient Elgin Marbles statues from Britain. The Marbles are a set of ancient Greek sculptures taken to London after being removed from the Acropolis in Athens by a British aristocrat, Lord Elgin, while Athens was under Ottoman control in the 19th Century. Greece has sought their return from the British Museum for decades, to no avail. REUTERS/Yorgos Karahalis (GREECE – Tags: POLITICS SOCIETY TRAVEL ENTERTAINMENT)
