Legacy
In 1562, Heraclid founded the Cotnari school, intended as a Renaissance academy, led by the Transylvanian scholar Ioannes Sommerus (who was also to be his biographer). The institution did not survive Despot's overthrow.
Heraclid is the central figure of Despot-Vodă, an 1879 tragedy by Vasile Alecsandri.
