Question and answer of "The Comedy of Errors" ( class xi of wbchse)

Question. What made Aegeon land at Ephesus?  What danger did he face there? 

Ans.

        Aegeon was returning home along with his wife, twin sons and twin slaves from Epidamnum in a ship. Suddenly, they faced a violent storm. Aegeon, alongside his son younger Antipholus and younger slave Dromio was isolated from his wife and elder son. After spending seven years, a frantic desire grew in his heart to find his lost wife and both sons. In the course of his searching, he incidentally landed at Ephesus.

    There was cruel law in the land of Ephesus. If any Merchant of Syracuse was seen in Ephesus, he would be put to death unless he paid a thousand marks for the ransom of his life. As Aegeon was an old merchant of Syracuse and he had no money to pay the fine, he was in great danger at Ephesus.
