ABSTRACT
In Pericles, Prince of Tyre, the eponymous hero undertakes a convoluted series of travels which take him from Tyre to Antioch, back to Tyre, thence to Tarsus, next to Pentapolis, back to Tarsus again (en route for Tyre), to Mytilene, where he meets his long-lost daughter, who has been brought up in Tarsus, and finally to Ephesus, where he is reunited with his wife. These fantastic peregrinations may seem to align the play with some of the other narratives of travel that had proved so popular on the English stage, such as The Three English Brothers or the heroic journeyings of Tamburlaine or Faustus, but in fact the locations of Pericles are realized and represented in ways very different from the careful correspondence to the map that marks Marlowe's imagined space, or the personal experience of exotic locations that informs The Three English Brothers. J What we find in Pericles is not so much a Greece of the atlas as a Greece of the mind.
