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
