Visconti Mirage Mythos Fountain Pen - Poseidon

Greek mythology teaches that the Olympian gods are immortal beings, governing the life and death of human beings. Meet the latest Visconti Mythos, Poseidon, the protector of seafarers and the guardian of many Hellenic cities and colonies.

"Hear me, Sea-lord, you who embrace the earth - don't deny our wishes, bring our prayers to pass!" - Homer

The Visconti Mythos Poseidon Fountain Pen pen is a stunning example of Visconti's design philosophy. The dark sea blue resin captures the essence of the deep sea, where Poseidon was believed to dwell and rule over the waves and storms. In coordination with the dark color of the resin, for the first time in the collection, features a ruthenium nib and trims. Both the pen's body and trims are sandblasted to create an elegant contemporary feel to the design.
