Homer is believed to have lived between the 8th century and 10th century and is perhaps the greatest of all epic poets of Ancient Greece. Best known as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, his works are considered to be the foundations of Western literature and poetry. This Writers Edition takes its main inspiration from the story of the Trojan horse and wrath of Achilles, related in the Iliad. The fountain pen size is comparable to the mythical “149”.The overall design is inspired by the Trojan horse, with the back and clip reflecting the spear of Achilles. The engraving on the cone and rings borrows motifs from traditional Greek black-figured pottery, with the overall color of the writing instrument taking inspiration from this same black Greek pottery. The 18kt solid gold nib, with special engraving, is available in M or F widths. The piston-filled fountain pen is limited to 9,800 pieces; the ballpoint pen to 10,300; the capless rollerball is limited to 8,600 pieces and the set with the fountain pen, ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil, 0.7mm, is limited to 800 sets.
