The Homeric Hymns:

These events include the rise to prominence of the Greek warrior Diomedes (which may have been a separate work at one time), the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon, the death of Patroclus, the battle between Achilles and Hector, and the death and burial of Hector.
Aethiopis:
Aethiopis Set just after the Iliad, Aethiopis told of the Trojan’s allies, the Amazons and the Ethiopians. It also related the death of Achilles. It apparently ended with the dispute over Achilles’ armor between Odysseus and Ajax the Greater. This dispute ends with Ajax killing himself.
