As the second chapter in a multi-edition series, this strictly limited writing instrument is dedicated to what was perhaps the most demanding phase of Odysseus' journey, a time full of trials, temptations and challenges, where endurance, cleverness and determination decide fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"838\"\u003eIn terms of design, the edition is based on the Doric order of columns, the oldest and at the same time clearest form of Greek architecture. While Chapter I embraced the elegance of the Corinthian style, Chapter II stands for reduction, balance and structural strength. This architectural clarity characterises the entire form of the writing instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"1284\"\u003eThe barrel combines deep blue, fluted resin with elaborately crafted sterling silver reliefs. Using the traditional lost-wax casting technique, finely detailed scenes from the \u003cem data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/em\u003e are created: Circe's art of transformation, the underworld, the enchanting song of the sirens and the dangerous passage past Scylla. Gilded wave ornaments connect the individual depictions and reflect the constant movement of the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1286\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003eAt the heart of the design is Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea and Odysseus' relentless antagonist. As a finely sculpted micro-sculpture on the clip, he gives the edition its narrative tension. The cap is modelled on a Doric column capital and underlines the architectural character of the writing instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1836\"\u003eThe rollerball combines the elaborate design of the edition with a pleasantly fluid writing experience and is suitable for both daily use and as an extraordinary collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"2019\"\u003eEach piece comes in a high-quality wooden presentation box, the design of which is reminiscent of Odysseus' ship and symbolises journey, trial and homecoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2021\" data-end=\"2312\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2083\"\u003eMontegrappa Odyssey Chapter II Rollerball\u003c\/strong\u003e is limited to \u003cstrong data-start=\"2088\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003e266 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e worldwide.
