Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: King Antiochus has issued a challenge to any suitor proposing marriage to his daughter: answer a seemingly-impossible riddle correctly, or die. Pericles, the Prince of Tyre, discovers the answer to the puzzle, but in doing so, he unearths the incestuous relationship between the king and his daughter. Pericles decides not to reveal the truth, and King Antiochus gives him forty days before his execution.
When Antiochus hears that the prince has fled back to Tyre, he sends an assassin after him.
