Does anyone know of any Ancient World romance novels?

I have been looking for Ancient Greek, Egypt, and Roman novels but I have come up short. I have read Daughter of Troy and the like but nothing amazing.Does anyone know of any Ancient World romance novels?
I've recently been studying "Medea" by Euripides, and found it to be pretty fascinating. It's actually a play, but quite understandable.

And it's a penguin classic, so that must mean it's worth a try.



If you want to know the gist of it, it's and Greek play where Medea and Jason used to be in love, until Jason left Medea with absolutely /nothing/ to be with the princess of Corinth. Medea is someone you /reaaally/ don't mess with and so she plots her revenge against him.

(All this is within the first few pages.)Does anyone know of any Ancient World romance novels?
I've just read a pretty good one, Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran.
