I feel in need of some inspiring Greek historical fiction. Like Mary Renault or Madeleine Miller. Any suggestions?

The Troy trilogy that starts with Lord if the silver bow, by David Gemmell. One of my favourite series. Re read this recently.

Goatsong, The Walled Orchard Alexander at the World’s End and Olympiad by Tom Holt are very good in a somewhat lighter mode.

Another vote for Silence of the Girls

Helen of Troy by Margaret George is one I enjoyed when I read it a few years ago. The Trojan war from the perspective of Helen.

The Silence of the Girls, by Pat Barker. I’ve started it but couldn’t get in to it. But you might like it.
