Description

Deception and Shame-- The play opens in the court of Antiochus; king of Antioch. The king has offered the hand of his beautiful daughter to the man who answers his riddle; but those who fail shall die. Pericles hears the riddle; and immediately understands its meaning: Antiochus is engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter. If Pericles reveals this truth; he will be killed; but if he answers incorrectly; he will also be killed. Pericles asks for 40 days to ponder his answer and once the time is granted he flees the city. Contend not; sir; for we are gentlemen; That neither in our hearts; nor outward eyes; Envy the great; nor do the low despise.
