Greek Heroes - Achilles - 4ml Fountain Pen Ink Sample

Royal purple, lightly dusted with the bronze of an age of heroes.

Achilles is the ultimate Greek legend, a demigod embodying power, leadership, and skill, and the only man who could rise to the challenge of Hector. This shade takes the royal purple cloth given to him by his mother, the sea nymph Thetis, and dusts it with bronze shimmer for the Bronze Age in which Homer set the story.

Try before you commit to a full bottle. Each sample is hand-decanted into a 4ml glass vial with a screw-top cap and a labelled colour name, so you can test the shading, sheen, and flow in your own pens on your own paper first.

This is a shimmer ink. Shake gently before each fill, and use it only in fountain pens that can be easily disassembled for cleaning. Dip pens and brushes are always a safe bet.
