Description
About the Book
In Christian countries few people have heard of Adam's first wife, Lilith. It is the myth that explains the appearance of evil in the world. Lilith synthesizes the whole subversion of Christian morality and has survived through the centuries in apocryphal literature and ancient Jewish traditions as the mother of all demons. This figure from ancient mythology, which in postmodernity has been transformed into a feminist claim, is deeply studied in this work, which explores the evolution of the myth in European literatures, analyzing its presence from Sumerian-Mesopotamian, Greco-Latin and Hebrew mythologies, in figures such as Clytemnestra, Medea, the witches, and other terrifying women in classical and modern literature. Through a detailed theoretical and critical study, Eetessam Párraga traces a timeline that shows how the archetype of the femme fatale has been essential to the anthropological development of Christianity, evolving in literature from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The book highlights the importance of characters such as Eve and Lilith in the construction of this archetype, exploring their representation in different eras and how they have influenced the perception of women in today's society.About the Author
