Because it won't post it as a comment!!!
For Smellee:
Jo Graham:
Black Ships - about the Aeneid (haven't read this one yet)
Stealing Fire - about Alexander the Great, not as good as Hand of Isis
Hand of Isis - Cleopatra
The Firebrand! Not about Cleopatra or Alexander, about Cassandra of Troy
I also found this list, frustrating as SO many are out of print, but the SF area is a treasure trove of used bookstores so I assume you will have far better luck than I!
