Quinault's play was substantially changed by altering Cyrus' attitude toward the queen and by staging the death of the three leading characters not two as in the histories. The play revolves around Cyrus' love for Tomiris who is forced to marry her general Odartise; otherwise Odartise will kill Cyrus. When the revenge plot unfolds Tomoris is unable to murder Odartise but Cyrus does. <br/><br/> In terms of theatrical form Quinault's tragedy is an early example of the tragic-comedy genre perfected by Thomas Corneille with his Berenice and Darius which were also based on French novels of the period. Quinault along with Thomas Corneille occupied an important place in the history of French drama between the zenith of Pierre Corneille and the rise of Racine. His early tragedies have not lasted compared to his operas to which he devoted himself after 1670. Quinault wrote libretti for the composer Jean Baptiste Lully and is credited with the introduction of dramatic action into the 17th French opera. According to two well-known 20th century critics Barnwell and Lancaster Quinault's La Mort de Cyrus influenced two of Jean Racine's works: Alexandre le Grand 1666 and also Andromaque 1667. According to Barnwell Racine's "Alexandre le Grand 1666 is a concession to contemporary fashion and constitutes a good example of the Romanesque tragedy in vogue when Racine was beginning to write for the theatre: superficially it has much in common with Thomas Corneille's Timocrate 1667 the greatest immediate success of the century and with Quinault's even more improbable but highly successful Mort de Cyrus 1658." Concerning Andromaque 1667 Lancaster wonders aloud: "Had not Racine become aware by then that the original version of his tragedy in which Andromaque's reappearance may derive from such plays as Quinault's La Mort de Cyrus weakened the obsessive hold of her own legendary past over his heroine Such considerations would reinforce Dr Elliot's contention that Andromaque in its original form is rooted in contemporary dramatic conventions." <br/><br/>References: Barnwell H.T.
