It is worth mentioning that the story of Lilith, like all myths, has a lot of information - most of it, without proof. From the legend, several cinematographic works were created.
A lilith's story begins in Sumer, in southern Mesopotamia, where Iraq and Kuwait are now located. Her image varies by culture, but generally, she was depicted with long hair, wings, curvy body, and owl-like feet.
To represent her wild and untamed nature, Lilith was often drawn without clothing. In other ancient engravings, she was depicted on a lion and with a crown of Sumerian royalty.
The image of Lilith came to be recognized among Catholics from the fourteenth century, based on studies of demonology. In this, she was seen as a demon, mother of vampires or witch.
According to medieval Hebrew folklore legends, Lilith rejected Adam by forcing her into a submissive position. For her, both should have equal rights, since they would have been created from the same clay.
Despite all this, Adam argued that nothing should be changed. So, tired of fighting, Lilith revolted and, with her magical powers, cursed her partner and flew to the Red Sea.
As a result, Lilith's revolt against Adam's male "superiority" made her a problematic figure for the Judaism, Catholicism, among other patriarchal religions.
