ODYSSEY CHAPTER I
Greek Mytholog y series
Three architectural orders. Three gods. A trilogy of handcrafted writing designs promises to elaborate history’s most famous tale as Montegrappa unpacks the Odyssey. In the Greek Mytholog y series, classical craftsmanship explores the artistry and aesthetic of Ancient Greece in rare, exacting detail.
Ancient arts chronicle the ultimate hero’s journey on Odyssey Chapter I. Inspired words flow from reference- level writing componentry and the story of Odysseus’ epic return from the Trojan War. Our artisans interpret 2,700 years of storytelling tradition in a wonder of lost wax casting, with precious metals to please the gods.
Episodes from Odysseus’ epic voyage are recreated in vermeil and framed by Greek fret. Tiny, micro- sculpted friezes re-enact scenes from one of western civilisation’s most compelling stories.
Corinthian flourishes from Greece’s most ornamental architectural order are recreated in miniature and micro- sculpted detail, bringing acanthus leaves and volutes to life with spectacular definition.

Odysseus’ most iconic creation is the Trojan Horse, a wooden home for editions of 266 fountain pens and rollerballs. The isopsephic value of ‘Ελλάς’ (Greece) revives ancient numerological beliefs.
