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.
