ABOUT THE NAME

Ancient elegance.

The name Kytheros draws from the Greek islands of Kythera and Antikythera. Off Antikythera, a Roman-era shipwreck preserved the oldest known analog computer, the Antikythera Mechanism, an elegant work of engineering that modeled astronomical cycles, predicted eclipses, and tracked the ancient games.
