 Martial Arts Planet - Lilith-Adam's first wife before eve?
I've actually heard that Lilith has been kinda mixed up with medieval literature and so unfortunately a lot of people have been assuming that Lilith was somewhere mentioned and discussed in some ancient scripture that predated the canonized version of the Bible.
I personally have never heard any hard evidence of Lilith being in such scripture but there is some archaeological evidence of a Lilith or precursor to the character of Lilith going back to the Ancient Sumerian or Egyptian religion, sorry forget which.
However I'm fairly convinced that Lilith was a fictional character written in the Medieval ages who some feminists and religious nuts(weird combination to me) who have glommed onto the idea of Lilith in the present day.

 Lilith
In Isaiah 34:14, Lilith is a kind of night-demon or animal, translated as onokentauros, a kind of apelike demon, in the Septuagint, as lamia "witch" by Hieronymus of Cardia, and as screech owl in the KJV.
Hebrew לילית lilith, Akkadian language lГ®lГ®tu are female Nisba adjectives from the Proto-Semitic root lyl "night", literally translating to nocturna "female nightly being/demon".
The screech owl translation of the KJV is without precedent, and apparently together with the "owl" (yanshuwph, probably a water bird) in 34:11, and the "great owl" (qippowz, properly a snake,) of 34:15 an attempt to render the eerie atmosphere of the passage by choosing suitable animals for difficult to translate Hebrew words.

A big point of debate is the subject of Lilith, the mythological first wife of Adam before Eve.
In most texts depicting Lilith, many point out that her only real crime against Adam and God was voicing her own opinion.
