Ο Νικόλαος Μουρούζης και η Αφροδίτη της Μήλου
Main Article Content
Abstract
The account of the theft of the Venus de Milo has two main obscure points
one is the part played by Nikolaos Mourouzis, which is still essentialy a
peripheral subject and a matter of some dispute; the other is the unexplored
ambivalent attitude adopted by the leading family of notables on Mios during
the negotiations with the French over the fate of the statue.
These two problems are in fact directly connected with the antagonism
arising out of the island’s geopolitical location, at a sensitive intersection of
French naval activity. French policy encouraged the community of Milos to
deviate from the policy laid down by the local administration and the chief local
government official (N. Mourouzis).
