  • Who Was Lilith? The Semen-Stealing First Wife Of Adam
    Lilith's story goes back 4,000 years, and she's still making an impact today.She takes on different forms, depending on where you're looking, but a popular one was that she was the first wife of Adam, long before Eve, and was expelled from the Garden of Eden to go and live as a promiscuous, baby-killing, semen-stealing demon. As you do.In short, she's embodies a lot of male anxieties about sex and women.What are her true origins? What's with all the semen-stealing? And what's her connection to mermaids?Joining Kate today is historian Sarah Clegg, author of Woman's Lore: 4,000 Years of Sirens, Serpents and Succubi, to help us get to know this fascinating woman better.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith.
