Visconti – Mirage Mythos Athena
The Mythos fountain pen draws inspiration from Athena, offering a perfect muse for artists and writers. As they express themselves with this beautiful sea blue pen, reminiscent of Athena’s eyes, they can channel creativity and wisdom. The color itself symbolizes serenity, inspiration, and profound wisdom, making the Mythos pen a fitting companion for those who appreciate the timeless influence of Greek mythology.
Greek mythology imparts the belief in immortal Olympian gods who govern the destinies of humans, influencing life and death. This year, Visconti‘s celebration revolves around the goddess Athena, a figure in ancient Greece linked to wisdom, warfare, and handicraft. Since the Italian Renaissance, Athena has evolved into an international symbol representing wisdom, the arts, and classical learning.
According to The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature, Athena is often described in Homer’s epics with the epithet “Glaukopis,” meaning “bright-eyed” or “with gleaming eyes.” This epithet, interpreted as blue-eyed or possessing eyes reminiscent of the sea, reflects wisdom and alertness, akin to an owl.
