'''Lilith''' is a [[demon]] or [[succubus]] in [[Jewish]] [[mythology]]. According to a late forgery alleged to have been written by Ben Sira, Lilith is the first wife of [[Adam]] (before [[Eve]]). She leaves [[Eden]] in a metaphorical version of [[divorce]]. This is because she refuses to be subservient and believes that both she and Adam were made from the earth and are therefore equal. After she leaves Eden, she is transformed into a succubus and [[cursed]] by [[God]] to never find [[love]] because her kisses suck the life out of mortal men.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/doc/7376632/Lilith</ref>

The character of Lilith represents an attempt to reconcile the creation story of Genesis 1:1-2:3 with the second creation story in Genesis 2:4-25. By this logic, Lilith was the woman created in Genesis 1:27-28: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”"
