Has anyone heard a myth about a woman who preceded Eve called Lillith?
 
I’ve heard of her but I don’t believe she existed. She’s just a myth.

Adam’s first wife - turns out she was also the proto feminist and stompted away from Adam when she read the terms & conditions of their relationship. She is now the guardian spirit of homesexuals & abortionsts. Not nice. Not nice at all!

Adam was the first man, Eve was the first man. This is Defined doctrine of the Catholic Church and is the Revelation of Genisis. Anything outside of the teaching is just make believe stroy telling, the stuff of Novels and Short Stroies. 👍

I don’t think you meant what you wrote above: “Adam was the first man, Eve was the first man.”

I am sure you meant that Adam was the first man, Eve was the first woman." 🙂

Lillith is a midrash resulting from a hyper-literal reading of the Bible. Since the Bible speaks twice about the creation of a woman (Gn 1:27 and 2:22) readers asked “Hey but what happened to that woman created in chapter 1?” And so Lillith was created to solve what was seen as an incongruity in the biblical text. Lillith was the first woman created (and ran off in most stories); Eve was the second.
 
The myth of lilith wad very popular, to the point where the tradition the noise making during New Year’s eve come from.
In fact it was thought that lilith out of jelousy of Eve, she wants to struggle all her children, while they are not circumcised, ie, they don’t belong to God yet, and the more a child approaches the day of circucision, the eighth day, the more the danger of lilith grows. Therefore, the tradition of making the noises and keeping vigil on new year’s eve which is the8th day after the birth of jesus/christmas, comes from.
 
in the Narnia books, I think it was said she was Adam’s “first wife” and its who the evil queen Jadis came from (I need to check Lion, Witch and Wardrobe or Magician’s Nephew to be sure on that, though.

And no, she wasn’t real, though the demon idea makes sense.
 
Is there more evidence for Eve than for the existence of Lilith?
 
Eve is mentioned by name in the Book of Genesis. I don’t recall Lilith being mentioned in that text, although perhaps I am wrong.
 
Lillith is most likely a myth and it is said she gave birth to thousands of demons a day. Sounds like a myth since demons are the results of falllen angels, not the offspring of Lillith.
 
Isaiah 34:14 And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.
