Annual Lectures in Cycladic and Ancient Greek Art—Warrior Princes of Mycenaean Greece

LECTURE

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13 2025

THE LECTURE

Join Jack Davis and Sharon Stocker, co-investigators of the grave of the Griffin Warrior in Pylos, in the province of Messenia, as they describe their spectacular finds of gold, silver, bronze, and precious gems.

Learn about the implications of their discoveries for our understanding of the rise of the Mycenaean civilization and the first states in Europe ca. 1450 BCE and discover how archaeological excavations in Pylos have been writing new chapters in the history of the Greek Bronze Age since 2015.
