The play unfolds in Marseille and introduces a variety of characters involved in the themes of love, identity, and social intrigue. The central characters include Lepante, a prince believed to be dead; Ismenie, a princess caught in a challenging situation; and a host of other nobles and comedic figures as they navigate between romance and rivalry. The opening of the play features the character of Lepante, who returns to reclaim his place after being presumed dead for a decade. Through a conversation with his confidant Evandre, we learn about the deception surrounding his apparent demise and the turmoil that has ensued since his absence. We also discover that Ismenie has been mourning him while being pressured into a marriage with the tyrannical Lypas. As Lepante plots to regain Ismenie's heart and face his rivals, the stage is set for an exploration of love’s complexities amidst the backdrop of mistaken identities and the challenges of nobility.
