Rated • 50 reviews • mythology, lore, sumerian • lilithgallery.com
From the page: "The following text was translated from an ancient hebrew version of the Sumerian legend of Lilith (called Lilitu in Sumerian). Lilith is an agricultural/fertility goddess, her myth is found in over 100 different religions and has numerous variatians on her name (Lilit, Lolita, Lilitu, Lilith). For example in the ben-Sira version of the Bible Lilith is the first wife of Adam and in Greek mythology she is the goddess of the dark moon (Artemis is the goddess of the full moon).
There are 30 stanzas and 150 lines in this epic poem. I have taken several poetic liberties in order to make the text easier to read (the translated version uses many archaic words that are rarely used). "
