Four modest pens

[bluesea]

All good beginner pens, although some might find the EF and 2.0 nibs challenging.

- Pilot Metropolitan (black): going to dmitch86
has seen a good amount of use, hit the floor a couple times, and has a fine nib from a Pilot Kakuno--perfectly functional, and still pretty nice looking imo.

- Pilot Kakuno (red cap): going to Papamud
equipped with an EF nib from a Pilot Penmanship

- Pilot Plumix (black), going to Pengineer247
1.0 Italic nib

- Platinum Preppy 2.0 (black) going to newkid

I have a line from a poem off the top of my head below, which actually gave me the idea for the PIF. Two qualified answers: poem title and author.

The two part puzzle:
In Xanadu did Kubla Kahn, a stately pleasure dome decree

third question:
Name the Ancient Greek hero who was held as a sex slave for almost 10 yr.

forth
Why was he tied to the mast of his ship, and his ears stuffed with wax?
