EveIn the Old Testament, the first woman, wife of Adam. She was tempted by Satan (in the form of a snake) to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and then tempted Adam to eat of the fruit as well, thus bringing about their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. There are two versions of the creation myth in the Bible: in one of them, Eve was created simultaneously with Adam; in the other, she was created from his rib. In the Hebrew writings known as the ‘Midrash’, Lilith was the first woman (and her children were the wives available to Eve's sons Cain and Abel). How to thank TFD for its existence?
