    It’s called A Thousand Ships
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    That one is also excellent! Pat Barker has written two from the women's perspective, "Women of Troy", and "Silence of the Girls". Claire Heywood's "Women of Sparta" is also good. She tells it from the perspective of Helen and Klytemnestra.

    And if you like the whole myth retelling, there's "Song of Achilles" and "Circe" by Madeline Miller, and "The Children of Jocasta" by Natalie Haynes. From a British perspective, there's "Sistersong" which retells an old folk ballad. I can recommend all of those!
