Set against the backdrop of the Trojan Wars aftermath, this poignant tragedy, first performed in 1667, weaves a more complex narrative than is typical of Racines works.

Le XVIIème siècle se partage entre baroque et classicisme. La poésie baroque (Théophile de Viau, Tristan Lhermite) affirme quelques principes communs: goût de la sensualité, des extrêmes, de l'ornementation, du language à effets, avec une prédilection de la forme sur le fond; on privilégie les sentiments sur la raison. L'avènement du pouvoir royal absolu avec ses poètes de cour entraîne un rejet des excès du baroque et, avec Malherbe, une stricte codification de la versification.

Le XVIIe siècle est un siècle majeur pour la langue et la littérature française. Poésie et théâtre se développent avec force, le classicisme s'impose avec un nombre de chefs d'œuvre rarement atteint tandis que le roman naît et s'épanouit parallèlement aux productions des moralistes et des fabulistes : rarement époque aura produit autant de grands écrivains, dont la marque est indélébile dans l'ensemble de la culture.
