Have a go at David Gemmel's Troy series or his Lion of Macedon series. They are kind of loosely based on historic events and figures. I recall that he does say in the beginning that some of the people and events actually existed, the stories are not meant to be an accurate history, but rather that it's how he felt it should have happened...
