The Trojan War

Beskrivelse
Books (fiction/drama/poetry) which reimagine the world, story, and characters of Homer's Iliad and related Greek myths about the Trojan War. Separate lists exist for the stories about the fate of specific characters - Odysseus, Aeneas, Agamemnon - after the war. I'm primarily interested in "in-world" retellings, not stories with modern settings.

spiphany: Including this as the locus classicus and main point of reference for the list as a whole (though many of the stories associated with the Trojan War are not actually recounted in the Iliad).
