on saleVisconti Mirage Mythos Fountain Pen - Zeus

I am very pleased with this pen, it is the size I really enjoy, not too skinny or large, just right. The closure is very unique and flows along two indentations and closes with a snap and stays that way until you use it again. The nib seems a little broader than a medium, but was smooth and flowed well right out of the box. The navy blue with brown swirls is understated and classy upon closer inspection. The craftsmanship appears to be up to Visconti’s standards and at a very reasonable price point. What a find.

I recently bought this pen with a broad nib. I've used a fair number of pens and more expensive Visconti pens as well as less expensive from other brands. I already written about 10 pages of A4 using it with Herbin Eclat De Saphir Ink. This is an amazing pen! It skates across the paper like its glass and writes flawlessly OUT OF THE BOX. No tuning no nothing just fill and write. I've had much more trouble with much more expensive pens. I was concerned that the feed might not keep up with the needs of a broad nib but it has been perfect. As for the pen itself, I don't think the pictures do it justice. This is a beautiful pen. The resin has deep color and color variance thats very nice. The gold accents just add to the look. The center band says Mythos with a stylized Visconti 'V' pattern around it. The finial has a raised edge and a Visconti 'V'. The clip is spring loaded as is the case on most Visconti pens. One of the most interesting parts is the magnetic cap, its done in such a way that the groves in the body ALWAYS line up with the cap. The Section had a nice feel and is also gold plated. I didn't think this pen would replace my Visconti Shadow LE (silver) but its not even a competition with this pen as my new primary pen. Its not a heavy pen but has a nice weight and feels good in the hand. I don't post my pens, never have, I suppose you could but... I've used it for about a week now. Its a cartridge converter and I've used other in it, mainly Herbin and Diamine Inks on Clairfontaine, Rhodia and Hobonichi paper . This pen has never hard started, skipped, or burped, it just continues to just skate across the page making writing almost effortless.

I have no affiliation with Goulet pens but this is one of the most amazing pens I've used in years! Visconti hit it out of the park with this one.

This is my first 'premium' fountain pen. You ever step back and think ,' what have I done?!' I took the plunge nearly a year ago and purchased a TWSBI 580 with which I've been greatly pleased. Up until that point, I believed a pen was a pen once you reached a certain price point. Notably, once you stepped away from the rollerball/ballpoint realm and into the world of decent, reputable fountain pens. I bought the Mythos Zeus (M) because it was beautiful, not because I expected a life changing user experience. Boy, was I wrong! It's night and day! Don't get me wrong, the TWSBI is still a great pen. But, this is truly an whole other level of craftsmanship. I've stuck with bold and medium nibs because I'm left handed and 'push' when I write, so fine and extra fine nibs just have way too much feedback for my taste, even on premium paper. This pen writes better on crappy paper than any of my other pens write on premium paper. So, I'm tempted to try the fine nib on my next purchase! Why not?! Gotta buy all three at some point anyways! Also, want to say thank you to the Goulet family! The information you provide regularly through your videos, blogs, podcasts has made this journey so very enjoyable!

The Visconti Mythos Zeus I received from Goulet Pen Company is a lucious,smooth-writing machine. It is plenty wet without being a gusher. The magnetic cap functions very well; it is so handy for taking notes; just pop the cap off/on so quickly. I'm glad I decided to get this pen;it is so different from my usual 'utilitarian' choices in pens. The understated Italian style is very tasteful. The writing experience makes it a total win! Goulet&Co. makes it a win/win. Thanks again,GPC!

A very nice pen for its price point. The nib writes wet and smooth. The pen feels good in the hands and well balanced. I can see this being an all day writer. If I had one complaint that would be the feed/nib section coming loose when either putting on or taking off the converter. The converter is tight and if you twist it off or on you could end up loosening the feed/nib as it screws into the grip section. It's and easy fix, but a little annoying. Otherwise it's a fine pen.
