14. She Is Primarily A Jewish Figure
If you haven’t heard of Lilith before, or just knew of her as a demon, this is because she is primarily a Jewish mythology figure. She first came around in the Middle Ages through Jewish texts. In fact, it wasn’t until the last few centuries that other cultures have started to discuss Lilith.
In the early 1900s, Greco-Roman mythology mentions a Lamia, which translates to Lilith. In this mythology, they see Lilith as more of a vampire and is known to seduce men. In German literature, Lilith first shows up in the late 1700s.
