Antikythera?

I rhyme with a word that could stand for a country -

Inglaterra, which is England in Spanish. Got this one from a rhyming dictionary, I don't know how Antikythera is actually pronounced.

A known event to a history junkie,

Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek artifact

A weird relation to modern computers

It's considered an extremely early version of an analogue computer
