Key learning points: - Briseis is a character from Greek mythology; she is given to Achilles (a renowned warrior) as a prize of war. - Pat Barker wrote ‘The Silence of the Girls’ from the first person perspective of Briseis. - The novel begins with Briseis in her home city of Lyrnessus which is under attack from the Greeks. - Barker creates tension and suspense through descriptions of Achilles, the battle and hints about Briseis's future. - When annotating a text, you can use a range of symbols and notes to help develop an understanding of the text’s ideas.\n
