Erofili, also spelled Erophile (Greek: Ερωφίλη, Greek pronunciation: [eroˈfi.li]), is the most famous and often performed tragedy of Cretan literature. It was written around 1600 in Rethymno in Crete (then a Venetian colony) by Georgios Chortatzis and first published in 1637 in Venice, probably after Chortatzis' death.
