I just mentioned in another thread Lafferty's _Space Chantey_ which is an
SF setting of Homer's Odyssey, and that brought to mind the late Brian M.
Stableford's "Dies Irae" series, which was a setting of, hmm, I forget
exactly, but either "The Illiad", "The Odyssey" or maybe both.
Are there others? I mean there are many "Lots of people go to war" or
"Man tries to get home" stories, but are there more directly inspired
by Homer? Just as a first cut it seems I can think of more inspired
by Xenophon.
I'm not sure, as it's been twenty years since I last read it, but I think
that Laumer's _Galactic Odyssey_ is based on the appropriate bit of Homer.
