"The German position," says Stephanie Heinlein, spokesperson for the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, is that Priam's Treasure remains "the property of the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz" and "part of the original collection of the Museum of Early and Prehistory, located in Berlin until 1945 and thereafter in the safekeeping of the Pushkin Museum."

Hence it was that Priam's son his cursed barque did build, and sped by barbarian oars sailed unto my home, in quest of beauty, woman's curse, to win me for his bride; and with him sailed the treacherous queen of Love, on slaughter bent, with death alike for Priam's sons, and Danai too.

An archeological pioneer, Schliemann was not above fibbing about his finds, which he liked to call "Priam's Treasure," after the Iliad's Trojan king.

Let him, at least, since he is come, approach thy genial board as guest, if not ally, for the gratitude of Priam's sons is forfeit in his case.
