拋開經典包袱，回歸故事本質
荷馬史詩經歷了數千年的傳唱、講述、再書寫，成為啟發無數作品的靈感泉源，創作源頭早已模糊難辨，文本更被無數人視為經典。
書封設計以「去經典化」為題，嘗試剝除千年來累積而逐漸僵固的印象，讓讀者得以重探荷馬故事的本質。
《伊利亞德》以特洛伊戰爭為舞台，描繪因妒恨而起的戰火、戰士的憤怒與榮耀，書封以「火」代表全書濃烈情緒與張力；《奧德賽》講述戰爭英雄奧德修斯返鄉的海上漂泊，書封使用「海」象徵奧德修斯波瀾壯闊的旅程，以凡人之軀直面如大海般難以預測的命運。
Returning to the Essence of the Story, Beyond the Weight of the Classics
Over thousands of years, the Homeric epics have been sung, retold, and rewritten across generations, becoming an enduring source of inspiration for countless works. Their original origins have long since faded into obscurity, while the texts themselves have come to be revered as timeless classics.
The cover design is conceived around the idea of ”decanonization“—stripping away the layers of accumulated reverence and fixed imagery that have formed over millennia, allowing readers to rediscover the essential power of Homer‘s stories.
The Iliad is set against the backdrop of the Trojan War, portraying a world consumed by jealousy, conflict, the fury of warriors, and the pursuit of glory. Its cover uses fire as a central motif, embodying the epic’s intense emotions and dramatic tension.
The Odyssey follows the war hero Odysseus on his long and perilous voyage home. Its cover draws on the sea as a symbol of his epic journey, reflecting a mortal‘s unwavering confrontation with a fate as vast, unpredictable, and relentless as the ocean.
