Career
King wrote a 2006 book on the Elgin Marbles defending the British retention of the Marbles against Greek claims,[2][3][4][5] and a former Fellow of the Jesus Project.
On the name dispute between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia she said: "The Macedonians invaded and conquered Skopje, but Alexander conquered Iran and Afghanistan as well. None of these two other countries ever claimed to be Macedonia. Amphipolis is in Macedonia, Vergina is in Macedonia and Macedonia is in Greece. To claim the opposite is so ridiculous. It is like saying that Jesus went to America..."[6]
Reception and review
King is described as someone who "breaks the mould of the dusty academic".[2] The Guardian described her as: "Blonde, glamorous and a fearless hunter of treasures.[7]
Advocacy
She is also known as a blogger who discusses politics, as well as historical and archaeological subjects.[8] In a 2005 article published in The Guardian King gave her thoughts on the subject of the "gender gap" in academia that was best summed up by the article's subtitle, "Wiles, not whining, are the way to overcome the gender gap, says Dorothy King".[9]
Personal life
King said that she spent some of her childhood in Florida and in France.[1]
