Circe by Madeline Miller - Miller did not like how Circe was an interesting character in The Odyssey but we knew little of her story, so she wrote her own story for Circe.

That one was fun for me because I had a vague recollection of Greek mythology from my childhood and slowly remembered things right before the story got to them.

The author also did a retelling of events in the Iliad in another book but I havn't gotten that one yet.
