Why “Ophelos.”
Ophelos is the Greek root of Hamlet's Ophelia. The word means advantage, profit, to heap up, to accumulate or benefit. Ophelia asks what we might become with introspection, insight, and time. It is the same question we ask of every search.
The mark is a Greek capital omicron with the rough breathing and acute accent — a small piece of orthography that signals the word without spelling it out.
