> 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](#s "The 'Trojan Horse' is the name of Troy's cavalry. The attackers take armour etc. from some of the dead and pretend to be a section of the cavalry to get into the city.")

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

> 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.
