For the ancient Greeks, the Iliad reminded them of
their
history and added to their identity. Their
triumph in the
Trojan War filled them with a sense
of pride. To be
descended from the great Greek
heroes such as Achilles,
Odysseus and
Agamemnon.
It is not just a tale of war, but a celebration.
A celebration
of the virtues and flaws of humanity.
A reminder that
even the greatest of heroes are
fallible—defenseless to
anger, greed, and pride —
but still capable of acts of
incredible courage
and sacrifice.
A connection to the divine origins, where gods
guided
and interfered in human affairs. This
blending of mortal
and divine reinforced the idea
that the people were
chosen and had a unique
place in the cosmos, destined
to achieve greatness.
My name is Tit, and you’re probably wondering why
I
chose to present my work under an alias.
Just to be clear – The Iliad Tales is a personal brand
that
carries my signature.
Since my portfolio is not a story of ego, but of
creating,
observing, and a love for design, I didn’t
want my
projects to be presented solely under my
own name.
The brand was created with the intention that every
story I design visually has its own space and
identity –
not tied to my name, but to my way of
working.
