The Actions Of Pericles
Pericles must answer Antiochus' riddle to win the hand of his daughter. If he fails he will face death. The riddle is:

On mother's flesh which did me breed.

I found that kindness in a father:
He's father, son, and husband mild;
I mother, wife, and yet his child.
How they may be, and yet in two,
As you will live, resolve it you."

Hint:
Understands the riddle to mean incest and hints to Antiochus his understanding.

Incest seems to retain its rightful shock value much more in Shakespeare and the classics. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
