In the heyday of the New Palace period of Crete (c. 1600-1500 BC) the area of Pylos gradually became the seat of powerful rulers of the Mycenaean elite\, whose way of life reflected not only a strong influence from the art and aesthetics of the Minoans\, but also a high degree of ideological and religious osmosis of the two societies. The lecture entitled Pylos and Minoan Crete will follow the historical course of the two Aegean cultures and will try to interpret the broad Minoan influence on Pylos and the other Helladic regions where the palatial Mycenaean world of early Greece will gradually emerge. \nBio:  \nAndreas G. Vlachopoulos is Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Ioannina. He completed undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Archaeology at the University of Athens\, specializing in Aegean Prehistory. His 1995 dissertation on the Post-Palatial period on Naxos and the Aegean received the Michael Ventris Award. He has been a Research Fellow at Princeton University (1998-99) and at the New York University Institute of Fine Arts (2001-02). Currently\, Andreas directs the Vathy\, Astypalaia Archaeological Project and the Kokkino Vouno Project at Akrotiri\, Thera. Among his main research interests are the Mycenaean Cyclades\, the Mycenaean period in Pylos\, the Thera frescoes\, and the Aegean Early Bronze Age. He is the author of monographs on Mycenaean Naxos and Astypalaia and the editor of two volumes on Aegean Prehistory (Argonautes and Paintbrushes) and seven volumes on Greek archaeology. He is a Fellow of the Archaeological Society at Athens and a Corresponding Member of the German Archaeological Institute. \nThis event is organized by Professor David Schneller (UCLA) and Dr. Claire Lyons (Getty) and is made possible thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF). \nCo-Sponsored by: \nUCLA College Division of Humanities\nThe Peter J. and Caroline B.
