Any other good historical fiction?
Graves' other books, especially Count Belisarius
Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian
Gore Vidal's Julian, and Creation
Sienkiewicz's "Seriously, fuck Germans" series
Clavicle's Shogun
Ursula le Guin's Lavinia doesn't really fit the bill but still good
Wolfe's Latro in the Mist
Bengsston (?) The Long Ships
All of the above are generally considered good/~literary~, but Sinkiewicz is old romantic nationalism so YMMV, le Guin is a bit more obscure than the rest

I heard the Leopard was supposed to be good. Don't know if that even counts though.
Are these any good? Goodreads doesn't seem to like them.
I'm a big fan of Dorothy Dunnett. She wrote a standalone (11th century) and two series of 6 and 8 eight books, set in the 16th and 15th centuries, respectively. Great books.
There's also Mika Waltari (only read the Egyptian, but it was very good), Mary Renault (ancient Greek stuff), Colleen McCullough (ancient Rome stuff), Flashman, Aubrey & Maturin, Hornblower...

The Three Musketeers and its sequels, of course.
