Visconti Mirage Mythos Fountain Pen - Odysseus
Visconti is pleased to open a new chapter in the Mythos collection. Dedicated to Greek heroes: human figures who embody courage, intelligence and determination. The first to lead the way is Odysseus. On his long journey home to Ithaca, the hero of the Odyssey travels through unfamiliar lands, yields to curiosity, and faces obstacles that test his resolve.
The new Odysseus edition has a stunning swirl of deep blues, turquoise shades and iridescent reflections. Its veining evokes the waters of the Mediterranean, their shifting character and the play of light across the surface. Gold-toned trims add the warmth of sunlight, balancing the colors of the sea.
The cap elegantly closes with a magnetic twist closure, and is accented by gold trim. The center ring is engraved with the inscription, MYTHOS, and a V to emulate a stylized Mount Olympus.
The pen is completed with a large #6 steel nib with gold finish, made by Schmidt in Germany. A converter is included, and it also accepts standard international short cartridges.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
