Night, Lilith is an interesting figure. She is claimed to be Adam's first wife who was considered to be his equal. Supposedly she left the Garden of Eden because of considering Adam to be inferior to her.

She has also been demonized in various ways and in some myths is considered to be the mother of the succubi and incubi demons. Not all the paintings are based on stories, though a lot of Waterhouse's are.

Thanks Night and Psycheinaboat for your comments.
