The Lies Of Men - Lies About Lilith

Lilith was a goddess worshiped in Mesopotamia. She was associated with winds and storms that are believed to be carriers of the disease and death.
It is said that was the first woman created by God with Adam. She abandoned him, leaving the Garden of Eden because of a dispute over gender equality.
She is accused of being the serpent led Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

Two of far nobler shape, erect and tall,
Godlike erect, with native honour clad
In naked majesty, seemed lords of all,
And worthy seemed; for in their looks divine
The image of their glorious Maker shon,
Truth, wisdom, sanctitude severe and pure
Severe, but in true filial freedom placed,
Whence true authority in men: though both
Not equal, as their sex not equal seemed;
For contemplation he and valour formed,
For softness she and sweet attractive grace;
He for God only, she for God in him.

Adam and Eve, The Paradise Lost, Book 4

The Lies Of Men - Empusa Craved Blood

Empusa is a demigoddess of Greek mythology. She was the beautiful daughter of the goddess Hecate and the spirit Mormo.
But she had a dark side and craved blood. She seduced young men as they slept before drinking their blood and eating their flesh.

I met a lady in the meads 
 Full beautiful, a faery’s child; 
Her hair was long, her foot was light, 
 And her eyes were wild.

  She took me to her elfin grot,
 And there she gazed and sighed deep,
And there I shut her wild sad eyes
 So kissed to sleep.

  I saw their starved lips in the gloam
 With horrid warning gaped wide,
And I awoke, and found me here
 On the cold hill side.

  La Belle Dame Sans Merci, John Keats, 1795 - 1821
