Description

Greek mythology teaches that the Olympian gods are immortal beings, governing the life and death of human beings.
This year we celebrate the goddess Athena, who in ancient Greece was associated with wisdom, warfare and handicraft, but who later, since the Italian Renaissance, became an international symbol of wisdom, the arts and classical learning.
The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature tells us that In Homer’s epic works Athena’s most common epithet is “ Glaukopis ” that is “bright eyed” or “with gleaming eyes”, which has also been interpreted to mean blue eyed or grayish blue eyed, the colors of the sea and wise and alert like an owl.
This pen is a perfect inspiration for artists and writers who can channel this muse as they enjoy expressing themselves with this beautiful sea blue Mythos, a color which itself symbolizes serenity, inspiration and wisdom.

The Visconti Mirage fountain pen is made of injected resin (where many other pens in the type of resin are machine turned bars).The fountain pens are equipped with a steel nib available in widths Fine, Medium or Broad en are supplied in a gift case.

The pen looks marvellous and really high quality. I like the magnetic capping mechanism but posted, the cap doesn‘t stay secure. It doesn‘t bother me since I enjoy writing with this pen uncapped. It‘s comfortable in the hand and the grip section is not slippery- even though it’s metal.
The M nib feels very soft and it writes super juicy- maybe a bit too much for my taste. I might need to find a drier ink for it.
I wish I had ordered a nib tuning with the pen since it‘s the tiniest bit scratchy at one angle but it’s still alright.
I might consider ordering the „Aphrodite“ as well because I love the Mirage Mythos design. But this time I would go for an F nib and nib tuning to be safe.
