TIL. Lilith sounds way more fun & attractive than boring compliant Eve

The story of Lilith has certainly been an inspiration to a lot of writers.

But I suppose so has Eve being tempted by the fruit.

Your wiki lead me to watching Hazbin Hotel. It's pretty funny so far.

Adding a bit to that, it's very likely that the old judaic religion was polytheistic like every other in the nearby region (assyrians, babylonians, egyptians, hittites), but started to consolidate around a single deity (not clear when, the tradition was oral). That meant some stories were left out for whatever reason, others changed, as they did several times over the centuries before being written, and every other god of their pantheon became yaweh, which explains why he has such drastically different personalities in the bible
