Hi, are there any entertaining fanfics about or related to the Trogan war, Illiad, and the Odyssey?
Thanks

Not a fanfic, but the 'Troy' trilogy by David & Stella Gemmell is rather good. I wouldn't classify it as fully rational, but it's definitely got a few rational-style changes made to the original story. If you know the story of Troy, this shouldn't be a major spoiler, but it's an example of the sort of thing I mean: Trojan Horse
It's been a few years since I last read it, but I remember enjoying it rather a lot.

[Ilium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilium_(novel): The Trojan War is being recreated by Greek gods that are actually hyper-advanced post-humans. Also lots of other stuff going on.

David Gemmell's Troy series is the best Illiad fan fiction you'll ever read. First book is called Lord of the Silver Bow.
I'll see you in a month.

Not quite what you've requested, but The King Must Die by Mary Renault is a great novel about Theseus which sets his life in historical Ancient Greece. It takes all the magical elements of the myth and translates them into plausible real-world events. Really awesome portrait of Ancient Greece, and a great story to boot.
