Goodbye to All That, Robert Graves (autobiography, but highly readable and amazing, and the first bit is v slashy)
Brokeback Mountain, Annie Proulx (well duh)
American Gods, Neil Gaiman (has a little)
Stuff about Alexander the Great by this woman called Mary Renault or something..
The Iliad, Homer
The Aeneid (esp book 9), Vergil (or as the plebs spell it, Virgil)
++more, just can't think off the top of my head
And don't laugh at the epic writers; they are so, so good.
