For me personally, with the standard caveat this is entirely subjective:

Yea: Circe, The Songs of the Kings, Song of Achilles

Nay: Silence of the Girls, Women of Troy, A Thousand Ships, Daughters of Sparta

Mostly I'm fascinated at just how many of these there are in the past couple decades. The Iliad is a rich mine for material, and has been for a couple thousand years, but it's interesting to me how modern writers are wrapping our current cultural values into it.
