Episodes from Odysseus’ perilous return from the Trojan War are framed in vermeil and Greek fret. Tiny mosaic friezes recreate the drama of 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.

Three architectural orders. Three gods. Our trilogy of handcrafted designs promises to unpack the Odyssey in its full glory. Zeus is the god of sky and thunder, punisher and protector on Odysseus’ epic voyage.

Monumental staging. Odysseus’ most famous creation provides a showcase for fountain pen and rollerball editions of 266 pieces – invoking ancient numerology with the isopsephic value of ‘Ελλάς’ (Greece).
