The Montegrappa Odyssey Chapter 1 Fountain Pen brings the epic tale of Odysseus to life through intricate craftsmanship. Inspired by Homer’s "Odyssey," this pen uses lost-wax casting to depict scenes from the hero’s journey home after the Trojan War. Vermeil friezes on the barrel illustrate episodes from Books 9 to 12, framed by silver Greek fret designs.
The cap features Corinthian architecture with acanthus leaves, volutes, and rosettes sculpted in fine detail. A mother-of-pearl top crowns the cap, while the clip mimics a Corinthian column, complete with a miniature figure of Zeus.
The pen’s resin core resembles marble and features fluting that complements the classical theme. The grip section, made of silver, includes Greek fret engraving and a vermeil logo band. The 18-karat gold nib, available in multiple sizes, displays an image of Zeus and operates with a piston filling system.
Limited to 266 pieces, this edition references the isopsephic value of the Greek word for "Greece" (Ελλάς). The pen comes with a Trojan Horse display case, crafted from wood and designed as a desk stand with a built-in document drawer. A vegan leather pouch and custom-engraved ink bottle complete the set.
This pen is a collector's tribute to Greek mythology and classical art, blending historical inspiration with functional design.
