Visconti Mirage Mythos Zeus Fountain Pen

Visconti presents a brand new collection with a ‘divine’ look: Apollo, Zeus and Aphrodite are the protagonists of the Mirage Mythos.

Greek mythology teaches that the Olympian gods are immortal beings, governing the life and death of human beings. The three personalities we selected represent three different supernatural forces for Visconti to be inspired by.

• Apollo is the god of the arts, music, poetry and science. He is the son of Zeus and the symbols that identify him are, among others, the Sun, the lyre, the bow and arrow.
• Zeus is King of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus, god of the sky, lightning and atmospheric phenomena. The thunderbolt is his symbol for excellence.
• Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. Daughter of Zeus, her most recognisable symbols are the dove and the sparrow.

The three brand new colours of the Visconti Mirage collection are shaded with gold powder, each corresponding to a divinity: we chose brown for Apollo, blue for Zeus and purple for Aphrodite.

This is Visconti’s new version of the Mirage, with innovations that distinguish it at first glance from the basic model, such as the large steel nib (yellow gold plated), the central section made of brass instead of resin, but above all the central ring, on which is engraved the inscription MYTHOS and the V, similar to a stylised Mount Olympus.

The Visconti Mirage fountain pens can be customized using the Visconti My Pen system.
