SPOILER ALERT! Do not read if you prefer to be surprised by the production.
The Riddle
King Antiochus offers his daughter's hand in marriage to any man who answers his riddle, with those who fail sentenced to death. Pericles hears the riddle and realizes that it's a trick: if he solves the riddle, it will reveal the truth of the king's incestuous relationship with his daughter and result in death. He flees home to Tyre, but Antiochus sends an assassin after him.
A Wedding
Pericles travels to Tarsus to escape Antiochus’ revenge and to provide food for the city in famine. He then sets sail again and suffers a shipwreck. He is rescued by fishermen and learns that King Simonides is holding a jousting tournament to honor his daughter, Thaisa. Pericles wins the tournament and marries Thaisa.
The Storm
After finding out that Antiochus is dead, Pericles sets sail for Tyre to reclaim his throne with Thaisa, now pregnant with their first child. During a storm, Thaisa dies giving birth to a daughter and is buried at sea. Pericles lands at Tarsus and entrusts his baby daughter, christened Marina, to the care of Governor Cleon and his wife Dionyza. Thaisa's coffin lands at Ephesus, where she is revived by the doctor Cerimon. She enters the temple of Diana as a nun.
After finding out that Antiochus is dead, Pericles sets sail for Tyre to reclaim his throne with Thaisa, now pregnant with their child. During a storm, Thaisa dies in childbirth and is buried at sea. Pericles lands at Tarsus and entrusts his baby daughter, Marina, to the care of Governor Cleon and his wife Dionyza. Thaisa's coffin is cast ashore at Ephesus, where she is revived by the doctor Cerimon. Believing Pericles will never return, Thaisa enters the temple of Diana as a nun.
14 years later...
Abduction
Fourteen years pass and Marina has grown up to be a beautiful young woman. Her foster mother, Dionyza, is envious of the attention Marina gets at the expense of her own daughter and arranges Marina’s murder. As the murderer is about to kill her, she is abducted by pirates who sell her into a brothel in Mytilene. Her unwavering chastity proves bad for business and Lysimachus, the governor, visiting the brothel in disguise, is greatly impressed by her.
Stop reading now if you don't want to know how it ends.
Reunited
Pericles is told by Cleon and Dionyza that his daughter is dead. Devastated, he takes to sea again, no longer talking or eating, and arrives by chance at Mytilene. His ship is visited by Lysimachus who has Marina brought aboard the ship in an attempt to rouse Pericles from his sorrows. When their conversation reveals her to be his daughter, Pericles is overjoyed. In a dream, the goddess Diana directs him to make sacrifice at her temple in Ephesus and they set sail to accomplish this final act. At Ephesus, Pericles discovers Thaisa, alive, and the family is finally reunited.

A planet of advanced technology and abundant resources. Once devoted to conquest, its people now foster peace across the galaxy.
A terrible planet that consumes all, where individuality is erased in service of a king whose conquering hand has spread across the galaxy.
A dying planet, ravaged by environmental exploitation. Barely surviving, its people suffer while the King and Queen live in excess.
A bountiful, beautiful water planet that has known peace for centuries. With plentiful resources and a strong royal line, there is no better ally than Pentapolis.
Home of the Temple of Diane. A moon that has survived the destruction of the planet it orbits and has become the last bastion of hope for many
At the center of the galactic highways, Mytilene caters to travelers from all over the galaxy, offering a place to refuel your ship or engage in the intergalactic black-market trade.
