I don't see where

You yourself just said:

"Sure, those works may have some additional meaning to a native familiar with the cultural significance"

This is what I am saying too. And some works just have so much of that, they can never be appreciated.

I always mention in that context two absolutely marvelous works of Russian literature that not just can't be understood by a foreigner, but even the young people in Russia today don't understand why we keep them in such high esteem.

So the separation from the meaning, from the original sensation, pain or humor, can be not just geographical, but also temporal. There is no way the modern person living in Greece experiences the same vibes looking at Acropolis as his ancient countryman once did.
