Masks I Wear Many
Masks I wear many,
But not many see behind them.
Always rejected
Except by those dark as the one I despise.
I hate and I fear One of whom I will not speak
Yet I throw myself continually at his feet.
I am continual.
When all other hope is gone, I remain.
Those I defend I do not love,
And those I fight I cannot hate.
The one who hates me most
Is the one I will die to protect.
WHO AM I?

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:
"I am no viper, yet I feed
On mother's flesh which did me breed.
I sought a husband, in which labour
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?

Hint:
A windmill. The typical windmill, like the ones Don Quixote chased, have four vanes or sails. You might even say they look like wings. Windmills dont have emotions, so they cant laugh or cry. And since they dont have actual wings, windmills dont get off the ground. A well-oiled little bugger wont make a peep. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
