in some ways this is a sequel to The Iliad and the original Greek title is the post homerica... this is a lot of fun and it's one I don't see talked about as often
The Fall of Troy (1999)
Homer's Iliad begins towards the close of the last of the ten years of the Trojan War: its incidents extend over some fifty days only, and it ends with the burial of Hector. The things which came before and after were told by other bards, who between them narrated the whole cycle of the events of the war, and so were called the Cyclic Poets. Of their works none have survived; but the story of what befell between Hector's funeral and the taking of Troy is told in detail, and well told, in a poem about half as long as the Iliad.
