Georgios Chortatzis (c. 1545–1610)[1] was a Greek dramatist in Cretan verse. He was, along with Vitsentzos Kornaros, one of the main representatives of a school of literature in the vernacular Cretan dialect that flourished in the late 16th and early 17th centuries under Venetian rule.[2] His best known work is Erofili (or Erophile), a tragedy set in Egypt.[1]
