Don Juan, the ``Seducer of Seville,'' originated as a hero-villain of Spanish folk legend, and his fame spread through the rest of Europe in the 17th century.

The many versions of his story include a play by Moliere The Stone Feast, 1665, a long poem by Byron Don Juan, 1819-24 and an opera by Mozart Don Giovanni, 1787.
