Hahahaha. The forum should so have a like button.

I agree! I was just thinking that it'd be cool if each post had a thumbs up/thumbs down option

This is a fascinating story. I'd never heard of Lilith until this thread. I found this Wiki reference and it appears Lilith was the FIRST trophy wife and feminist to boot...

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 legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism.[3] In the 13th Century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Kohen, 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.[4] The resulting Lilith legend is still commonly used as source material in modern Western culture, literature, occultism, fantasy and horror.

Lilith is hot. Compare her to Eve. Eve looks like a man with boobies.

Just shows that art progressed a lot between the 16th and 19th centuries.

I took a class on the bible as literature, and I can't believe I never heard of her - I wonder if that's why it's called Lilith Fair?

Yes, it is. That was specifically why I came into this thread...to point that out. LOL

Maybe a hangup about portraying the nude female body. Adam's body is more attractive than Eve's. Maybe he had a thing for boys... I don't give this painter high marks.

Yeah, you're right. Here's a better painting of Adam and Eve from the same time period by a different artist.
