Michael Wood's In Search of the Trojan War has an awesome companion book. Def not as scholarly as >>7617303 but very accessible.

Book I of Thucydides' Peloponnesian War. He has an interesting analysis of the general causes and effects of the Trojan War, and its ultimate effect on the political situation of Greece in his time.

Also, Plato. Just all of Plato. Start with the Republic.
