My comment:

They developed the maritime sector as if it belonged to them, even more than the Cretans themselves. One would have expected the Cretans to develop it not the Mycenaeans

Just like the Cretans [plural] and even more than the Cretans [plural]. Also, please note that in this context "maritime sector" is anachronistic. "Sea trade" or "Mmaritime trade" would be better.
