The first act opens on an ominous note with Antiochus, the emperor of Antioch, musing on a riddle that he has posed to all the princes that come seeking his daughter's hand. In a dark twist, any prince who fails to solve the riddle will be put to death. Prince Pericles of Tyre arrives and successfully interprets the riddle, but his knowledge inadvertently exposes a dark family secret. Forced to flee for his life, Pericles embarks on a sea journey that will be fraught with peril, shipwreck, and the loss of his beloved wife. Despite the numerous trials and tribulations they face, both Pericles and his daughter, Marina, survive and are eventually reunited.
