*Outrun the Wind* by Elizabeth Tammi is one of my favorites.

“Alcestis” by Katharine Beautner is about Alcestis’s time off-screen in the Euripides play. Eerie and queer, good for fans of “Song of Achilles”.
“The Goddess” by Miranda Seymour is one of my favorites, it’s an irresistible mix of serious and camp. One of the few books that includes Klytemnestra’s first family, which I find cool.
Margaret Atwood’s “The Penelopaid” is Penelope’s story, narrated from the Underworld. Claire North also has “The Song of Penelope” series.
Steven Pressfield’s “Last of the Amazons” is no-magic military fiction, about the Amazon assault on Athens.
Pat Baker wrote, “The Silence of the Girls” and “The Women of Troy”, which focuses on the women at the camp outside of Troy, and re-tells “The Trojan Women”.
Natalie Haynes is a Euripides fangirl in the best way. “A Thousand Ships” is about the women associated with Troy, and re-tells “The Trojan Women”. “Stone Blind” is about Medusa and Perseus. Her nonfiction, “Pandora’s Box” talks about women in Classical literature.
“Athena’s Child” by Hannah Lynn is about Medusa, but IMO, isn’t well-researched.
