20 de abr. de 2019 · The Silence of The Girls. Paperback – April 20, 2019. by Barker Pat (Author) 4.3 13,253 ratings. See all formats and editions. Queen Briseis has been stolen from her conquered homeland and given as a concubine to a foreign warrior. The warrior is Achilles: famed hero, loathed enemy, ruthless butcher, darkly troubled spirit.
The Silence of the Girls is mainly told from the POV of Briseis, taken as a spoil of war, and given to Achilles, although herself wife of a “King” of a city allied to Troy. Again, the great classical translations make much play of the Kings and Rulers who all thronged to defend Menelaus’ honour and besiege Troy in order to rescue Helen.
