Kornaros, Vitsentzos| Cretan poet. His masterpiece, the Erotokritos, written in local dialect, reflects the culture of Venetian-occupied Crete. In it the French romance Paris et Vienne is transformed into a thoroughly Greek work, lyrically told in rich and mature language and finished metre. |
| Kornaros may also be the author of The Sacrifice of Abraham, a play based on an Italian model, vividly dramatic and full of psychological interest. |
