Therasia, also known as Thirasía ((ギリシア語:Θηρασία)), is an island in the volcanic island group of Santorini in the Greek Cyclades. It lies north-west of Nea Kameni, a small island formed in recent centuries by volcanic activity and thus marking the centre of the island group. Therasia is the second largest island of the group, the largest by far being Thera. Therasia has a land area of and its population was 268 inhabitants at the 2001 census. It is part of the community of Oia (Κοινότητα Οίας). Thera 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 probably refers to a god or a person rather than to an island *Qherasia > Therasia.〔(Minoan Qe-Ra-Si-Ja. The Religious Impact of the Thera Volcano on Minoan Crete )〕 ''Thirasia'' is also the book of Greek poet Dimitris Varos that became a music album and theatrical performance by Greek composer Giannis Markopoulos under the title ''Daring Communication - Electric Theseus''. ==Villages== *Agía Eiríni (pop. 89) *Agrilia (0) *Manolas (147) *Ormos Korfou (2) *Potamos (30) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Therasia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
