The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture in Hellenic Studies was established in 2004 in honor of the Program’s sponsors. The Program had been funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation as a pilot program from 2001 to 2007. In 2007 the Board of Directors of the Foundation endowed the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Center for Hellenic Studies at Yale University, which funds activities of the Hellenic Studies Program at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale. The lecture series brings to the Yale campus distinguished scholars in the humanities and social sciences, public figures, and artists of international reputation.

Professor Marinatos is professor and department head of the department of Classics and Mediterranean Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She has written extensively on the archaeology and culture of Minoan Crete as well as the finding and reception of the site of Akrotiri at Thera (modern Santorini). Her main areas of research and publication are Greek Religion, Minoan religion, History of Scholarship, Thucydides and Herodotus
