Sophocles and Euripides ( and in more modern times, Corneille ) made the story the subject of tragedies, and its incidents were represented in numerous ancient works of art.

Corneille continued to write plays through 1674 ( mainly tragedies, but also something he called " heroic comedies ") and many continued to be successes, although the " irregularities " of his theatrical methods were increasingly criticized ( notably by François Hédelin, abbé d ' Aubignac ) and the success of Jean Racine from the late 1660s signaled the end of his preeminence.

However, the Cardinal's demands were too restrictive for Corneille, who attempted to innovate outside the boundaries defined by Richelieu.

When both plays were completed, it was generally acknowledged that Corneille ’ s Tite et Bérénice ( 1671 ) was inferior to Racine ’ s play ( Bérénice ).

Most of the plays that Corneille wrote after his return to the stage were tragedies.

At the head of these were Thomas Corneille, Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle and Isaac de Benserade, who were clearly aimed at in the book, as well as innumerable other persons, men and women of letters as well as of society, identifiable by manuscript " keys " compiled by the scribblers of the day.

Thomas Corneille is also remarkable for having excelled in almost all dramatic genres of his time, including the new and innovative genres that were the pièce à machines and opera at the time.

Sophocles and Euripides ( and in more modern times Pierre Corneille ) made the episode of Perseus and Andromeda the subject of tragedies, and its incidents were represented in many ancient works of art.

Lully's forays into operatic tragedy were accompanied by the pinnacle of French theatrical tragedy, led by Corneille and Racine.

Other statues by Nicolas and Guillaume Coustou, Corneille an Clève, Sebastien Slodz, Thomas Regnaudin and Coysevox were placed along the Grand Allée.

Inspired by Abel Lefranc's arguments for the Derbyite theory of Shakespeare authorship, Louÿs proposed in 1919 that the works of Moliére were actually written by Corneille.

Corneille was born in Liege, Belgium, although his parents were Dutch and moved back to the Netherlands when he was 12.

Tragedy during the last two decades of the century and the first years of the 18th century was dominated by productions of classics from Pierre Corneille and Racine, but on the whole the public's enthusiasm for tragedy had greatly diminished ; theatrical tragedy paled beside the dark economic and demographic problems at the end of the century, and the " comedy of manners " ( see below ) had incorporated many of the moral goals of tragedy.
