The Calypso Deeps is a cluster of star systems located in the Local Supercluster.

It is situated rimward-by-spinward of the Amazonia Cluster, rimward of the Local Cluster, and trailward of New Canaan Corridor.

The Calypso Deeps is comprised of six subclusters: the Encruzilhada Subcluster, Golden Horn, Hydrus Expanse, Magellan Subcluster, Pillars of Hercules, and Senekane Subcluster.

Etymology

The Calypso Deeps is named after Calypso (/kəˈlɪpsoʊ/; Ancient Greek: Καλυψώ, romanized: Kalupsō, lit. 'she who conceals'), a nymph from Greek mythology who lived on the island of Ogygia, where, according to Homer's Odyssey, she detained Odysseus for seven years against his will. She promised Odysseus immortality if he would stay with her, but Odysseus preferred to return home. Eventually, after the intervention of the other gods, Calypso was forced to let Odysseus go.
