A sweeping epic of fortune, loss, and miraculous reunions across the stormy seas of the ancient Mediterranean. "I see that Time's the king of men; He's both their parent, and he is their grave, And gives them what he will, not what they crave." Driven from his home by the deadly riddle of a tyrant king, Pericles, Prince of Tyre, embarks on a perilous odyssey that will test his courage and endurance. His journey is marked by extraordinary highs and crushing lows: he wins a princess for a wife in a tournament, only to lose her in a terrifying storm at sea during childbirth. Believing his wife dead and forced to leave his infant daughter, Marina, in the care of others, Pericles becomes a wandering, grief-stricken king. Years later, fate brings the fragmented family back together in a series of astonishing events. From the brothels of Mytilene to the sacred temple of Diana at Ephesus, Pericles’ story is a testament to the enduring power of hope and the unpredictable nature of destiny. Filled with shipwrecks, riddles, pirates, and divine interventions, Pericles, Prince of Tyre is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and fantastical romances.
