Pericles Prince of Tyre (Paperback)

Discovering that the ruler of Antioch is in an incestuous relationship with his daughter, Pericles, the young ruler of Tyre, flees the city rather than answer a riddle and reveal the disturbing relationship. On his journeys he weds the beautiful Thaisa and she apparently dies in childbirth at sea. When the young child is separated from her father, she grows up to be a beautiful maiden that teaches virtue to ladies in Mytilene but her father wants to rescue her from the powers that have enslaved her to a brothel that may endanger her.
