I love this: The Iliad, which I am pretty unfamiliar with, told from the perspective of Berseis: a Trojan princess who is captured and becomes the mistress of Achilles. I got swept up in the plot and the complexity of the characters, as well as the graphic portrayal of war and resistance of captured and enslaved women to gruelling abuse. I also loved how it alternated between first person and third person narration.
