Haidee(2 syl.). A beautiful Greek girl, who found Don Juan when he
was cast ashore, and restored him to animation. “Her hair was auburn,
and her eyes were black as death.” Her mother, a Moorish woman from
Fez, was dead, and her father, Lambro, a rich Greek pirate, was living
on one of the Cyclades. She and Juan fell in love with each other
during the absence of Lambro from the island. On his return Juan was
arrested, placed in a galliot, and sent from the island. Haidee went
mad and, after a lingering illness, died. ( Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Haidee from Fact Monster:
