What are some good novels set in Ancient Greece?
I am looking for any fantasy/historical fiction novels set in Ancient Greece, particularly ones having to do with Greek mythology or lore. An example is “The Firebrand” by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Can anyone recommend me some titles? Thanks!
Update: Thanks for your answers so far. I can’t wait to hear more. And also, I am looking for modern-day (as in 20th or 21st century) fictional novels– not classics like The Odyssey or Iliad, etc. Thanks!
Mary Renault wrote a bunch of books set in Ancient Greece (and later). Some are more myth-based (The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea which deal with Theseus), and some more history-based (The Praise Singer, about a poet, or Fire From Heaven and The Persian Boy which deal with Alexander the Great). I loved The Firebrand years ago, and when my Classics prof mentioned Mary Renault, I looked her up. They’re great – really authentic.
