What are the best books ABOUT Greek mythology, history and culture?

I've already read Hesiod, Homer, the Argonautica, the Library, the dramas, and a bunch of poems and fragments. Also in the process of reading Herodotus and the History of the Peloponnesian War.

What are the best modern books to read to put all of this in perspective?

Not looking for philosophical writings at the moment.
