But when you're done, go to The Straight Dope and read up about it there...
There's a story that Lilith was Adam's first wife, but there are also stories that there was no first wife, etc. The creation stories get merged, like the Hungarian story: Once Adam and Eve had three sons who needed wives, God created them: one from a pig, one from a wolf, and one from that extra rib Eve had. The first was sweet and affectionate, but messy. The second was neat as a pin, but mean. The last was sweet and clean.
That's one story, familiar, but different. The Lilith one is similar, probably blending from one culture or another.
Still, kinda an interesting story, eh?
