Xenophon's _Anabasis_ undergirds books by Norton, Ringo & Jack Campbell.

_Glory Road_, of course.

_Cugel's Saga_.

Various "Odyssey" inspired works including _Space Chantey_.

You could argue _Ringworld_.

_The Voyage Of The Space Beagle_.

Henry's _Road Trip Of The Living Dead_.

Then there was that girl from Kansas, and I do believe there was a
chap who went there & back again...
