Description
The Van Dieman's Greek Heroes Collection features four unique fountain pen inks, each inspired by a legendary figure from Greek mythology. Every ink shade is designed to capture the essence and tale of a different heroic character.
Odysseus encapsulates the wild and rugged adventures that Odysseus and his men embarked on in the classic epic adventures written by Homer. This shade is a shimmer ink that resembles the dark and mysterious sea whilst trying to get back to his beloved Penelope. The terrifying encounter with Skyla and the Charybdis is captured in the chameleon shimmer, which shifts in the light from gold to green, blue, pink and then purple, and gives this deep teal a mysterious element to it. As daylight breaks and brings hope to the weary voyager, a red sheen shines through this ink on good quality paper. This Ink would be perfect for a med to broad or even in a stub nib. (please check your fountain pen is compatible with shimmer inks).
Archilles is the ultimate Greek legend, embodying power, leadership and skill. The Iliad describes Archilles as a force to be reckoned with, as the demigod that arose to the Challege to defeat Hector. This shade represents the royal purple cloth that was given to Archilles by his mother, the sea nymph Thetis. With a light dusting of bronze shimmer, representing the bronze age where the story took place, fighting alongside King Agamemnon and Patroclus that made their battle Epic in Homer's timeless poem.
The shade "Alexander" is like the young man that this Ink is named after. It emulates courage and fearlessness against all odds. Van Dieman's admires Alexander as a leader with wisdom beyond his years and the and a tactician and strategist who is still marveled and copied today. He had the courage and fierce passion to tame Bucephelus, his horse in battle, that most adults, including his father Phillip the second, couldn't tame. This shade embodies his courage strength and intelligence as a commander to be reckoned with. This is a beige shading ink, peppered with golden shimmer to represent Alexander's courage and fearlessness.
Leonidas held back Xerxes and his immense army of Persian soldiers for three whole days with only a few hundred men, forging the most heroic defeat of all time and courageously laying down his own life for his men and his country. His brave sacrifice and that of his men gave the Greek nations the time and encouragement to defeat their invaders in the coming war. This shade is the ultimate dark red shimmerless shade with a high saturation of scarlet red that resembles the famous cloak worn by all Spartan soldiers.
