Faust (disambiguation)

Template:Sister project Faust is the protagonist of a German legend about a magician who makes a pact with the Devil. The character is based on a real person, Johann Georg Faust (c. 1500), but the story is fictional, and modeled largely on ancient sources.

The first version of the Faust legend is the anonymously-authored polemical book, Historia von D. Johann Fausten (1587). This in turn gave rise to the following important dramatic works:

• Doctor Faustus (c. 1592), a play by Christopher Marlowe
• Goethe's Faust (1770-1832), a multipart dramatic poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
• Faust (1859), an opera by Charles Gounod based on Goethe's Faust
• Faust ballets (18th–20th centuries), a number of ballets based on the story of Faust
