Pericles, the young Prince (ruler) of Tyre in Phoenicia (Lebanon), hears the riddle, and instantly understands its meaning: Antiochus is engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter. If he reveals this truth, he will be killed, but if he answers incorrectly, he will also be killed.
Periclesâ earliest recorded act, the financial sponsorship of a play by Aeschylus in 472 B.C., foreshadowed the future leaderâs wealth, artistic taste and political savvy.
