Read the full text of Pericles Act 3 Scene 2 with a side-by-side translation HERE.

• The next thing we know, Thaisa's coffin washes up on the shore of Ephesus.
• A couple of servants find it and take it to the house of a doctor named Cerimon.
• Cerimon cracks open the casket and finds Thaisa's body, along with some yummy smelling spices and a letter asking whoever finds it to give Thaisa a nice funeral. Pericles has thrown insome jewels for good measure.
• Cerimon notices that that the body is awfully fresh for a corpse.
• Then he's all, "Someone fetch my magical potions of medicine and play some music so I can revive this woman ASAP."
• Thaisa starts to wake up and is all, "Where the heck am I?" They cart her off to a room so she canrecover.
• Okay, Shmoopers. It's not exactly clear if Cerimon brought Thaisa back from the dead or if she was justunconscious or something. You'll have to check out this scene and decide for yourself.
