Shurely shome mishtake?—Ed. The Thalassocracy (thalassa, thalatta "sea") was the hegemony over the Aegean Sea exercised by various peoples (Lydians, Pelasgians, Thracians, Rhodians etc.) between the fall of Troy and the foundation of the Athenian league.

Oh, dear. I wouldn’t know—I copied the word over from http://kaphtor.blogspot.com/2008/03/kaphtor-definition.html. I think it is erroneous, as neither the Free Dictionary or Wikipedia refer to this spelling.

Blimey, I noticed it had quite a few hits, but it's even got into some printed books—even ones about Ancient Greece! Have that proof-reader sacked now.
