The Early Church (mainly the Gnostic sects) believed that Adam actually had another wife before Eve. According to several Apocryphal books of the Bible, Lilith was created at the same time and from the same dust as Adam. She refused to be subservient to Adam (since she was not the same flesh as Adam and considered it near bestiality), and eventually mated with an Archangel named Samiel, and was subsequently expelled from the Garden of Eden.

Many early Jewish and Christian myths deal with Lilith (even Ashurism shares the apocryphal tale of Lilith), mostly dealing with the eventual offspring of her and Samiel. Many believe their offspring turned out to be the semi-human creatures of Greek myths, like the Centuar and Minotuar. Others believe they became vampires (especially her daughters, the lillu and the estries). The lillu fed off the blood of infants, and the estries would die if they did not feed on human blood.
