Thalassa

[ thuh-las-uh ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, Classical Mythology.

Thalassa, busy chopping suet with a knife, made answer without looking up.

The gloom outside was thinning, and as Thalassa glanced out his eye lighted on a strange shape among the rocks.

Thalassa glanced at his wife, but she appeared to have heard nothing, and her grey head was bent over her cards.

He looked up from his papers as Thalassa entered, and thoughtfully watched him as he trimmed the lamp and tended the fire.

With these duties completed Thalassa still lingered, as though he expected his master to speak.
