Who was the french dramatist who modeled his tragedies on Greek playwrights?

The French dramatist who modeled his tragedies on Greek playwrights was Pierre Corneille. He is considered one of the founding fathers of French classical theater, and his works like "Le Cid" and "Horace" are prime examples of this style.

While other French dramatists of the time, like Jean Racine, also wrote tragedies inspired by Greek models, Corneille is often credited with being the first to successfully adapt the form to the French stage.
