I agree with you, OP (... but maybe good ones, yes?)! I also want more books set in that time period.

It was only until I read the Goddess of Yesterday in middle school that I felt like I truly "got" Ancient Greek society and what daily life was like for everyone from the slaves to the royals to even the often overlooked middle class of freemen. That book is very vivid and frank but lays out the world setting simple enough a child can understand it.

It's very similar to medieval European feudal society so popular with the adventure fantasy crowd, just replace the serfs with slaves and Christianity with Hellenic mythos and any claymore with a gladius and the setting hits all the same notes. There are key differences obviously but all the things people seem to like about one are in the other.
