| Summary | "Pericles, Prince of Tyre" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written during the early 17th century, thought to be around the same period as many of Shakespeare's other works. The play follows the journey of Prince Pericles as he faces a series of catastrophic events, including a deadly riddle posed by King Antiochus of Antioch and a shipwreck that leads to the loss and eventual quest to reunite with his estranged family. The opening of the play introduces the ominous riddle posed by Antiochus to Pericles, which serves as a catalyst for the prince's journey. Pericles' boldness in facing the riddle and his subsequent flight from Antioch highlight the themes of duty, honor, and the search for truth. The narrative sets the stage for Pericles' encounters with various characters as he navigates through political intrigue, loss, and hope, ultimately shaping his quest for family and identity amidst the trials he faces.
