What is Calypso Labs?

In Greek mythology, Calypso (Καλυψώ, she who conceals) was known for her alluring beauty and her ability to conceal her island, Ogygia, from the outside world. In Homer's epic, the Odyssey, Calypso plays a significant role when she captures the hero Odysseus and keeps him imprisoned on her island for seven long years. The name Calypso signifies our fascination with the concealed, as we delve deep into the obscured landscapes of the digital world, uncovering its secrets and mysteries. Calypso represents our commitment to embracing the unknown and navigating the intricate pathways of the digital world.
