Fair /lit/, I'm looking to read some contemporary novels set in ancient Greece. They can be mythological, historical, fantasy, whatever. I'm just hungry for some Greek tales. I'd be very appreciative of any suggestions.

Thanks.

Well, yes. However, I'm looking for contemporary novels as opposed to classics.

Then read some good, modern non-fiction about the era. The rest is all fanfiction by definition and it shows.

Oh and I just remembered this one.
It may be too retread for what you're looking for, but it piqued my interest.
