Therasia
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : Therasia
Therasia, also known as Thirasia (Greek: Θηρασία), is a small Greek island west of Santorini in the Cyclades. The population is around 250. Santorini and Therasia were separated by the Thera eruption.
At Knossos, in a LMIIIA context (14th century BC), seven Linear B texts while calling upon "all the gods" make sure to grant primacy to an elsewhere-unattested entity called qe-ra-si-ja and, once, qe-ra-si-jo. However this likely refers to a god or a person rather than to an island *Qherasia > Therasia.
Thirasia is also the book of Greek poet Dimitris Varos that become a music album and theatrical performance by Greek composer Giannis Markopoulos under the title Daring Communication - Electric Theseus.
