		Iolkos increased in importance in Late Helladic I and II (1500-1400), perhaps under Minoan influence or at any rate through sea-borne commerce: vessels are figured on the pottery.
		Indeed, Pefkakia (ancient Neleia?), a port on the coast of Thessaly near Volos (Iolkos) was receiving pottery linked to western Anatolia as early as the end of the third millennium (Warren 1989: 7).
		A faint clue to the financial background of Jason's commission from Pelias of Iolkos may be found in the man-with-one-shoe or monosandalos theme.
