Lilith (Hebrew: לילית‎; lilit, or lilith) is a character in Jewish mythology, found

earliest in the Babylonian Talmud (completed between 500 and 700 BCE),

who is generally thought to be related to a class of female demons Līlīṯu

in Mesopotamian texts.

In Jewish folklore, from the 8th-10th Century Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards

Lilith becomes Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from

the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one

of Adam's ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in

the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism. In the

13th Century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, for example, Lilith

left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would

not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.

The resulting Lilith legend is still commonly used as source material in modern

Western culture, literature, occultism, fantasy, and Horror.
