Stories and things

So as we established before, I am a big nerd. (glad we are all on the same page there) I have a particular interest in mythology and like to collect stories, like the epic of gilgamesh, and sigurd the valsung (or any story where Odin pops up is worth reading) so on and so forth.
Last class we talked about Lilith, Adam's first wife. As I said I first learned of her through knowing of vampire fanfiction and...such. yeah...well anyway, I noticed we didn't go over what the story was, So here it is. The source on this is supposedly "The alphabet of Ben Sira" (my sources are the internet so take it with a grain of salt) and this is the story as I know it

After God created Adam, who was alone, He said, 'It is not good for man to be alone.' He then created a woman for Adam, from the earth, as He had created Adam himself, and called her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately began to fight. She said, 'I will not lie below,' and he said, 'I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one.' Lilith responded, 'We are equal to each other inasmuch as we were both created from the earth.' But they would not listen to one another. When Lilith saw this, she pronounced the Ineffable Name and flew away into the air.Adam stood in prayer before his Creator: 'Sovereign of the universe!' he said, 'the woman you gave me has run away.' At once, the Holy One, blessed be He, sent these three angels Senoy, Sansenoy, and Semangelof, to bring her back.Said the Holy One to Adam, 'If she agrees to come back, what is made is good. If not, she must permit one hundred of her children to die every day.' The angels left God and pursued Lilith, whom they overtook in the midst of the sea, in the mighty waters wherein the Egyptians were destined to drown. They told her God's word, but she did not wish to return. The angels said, 'We shall drown you in the sea.’'Leave me!' she said. 'I was created only to cause sickness to infants. If the infant is male, I have dominion over him for eight days after his birth, and if female, for twenty days.’When the angels heard Lilith's words, they insisted she go back. But she swore to them by the name of the living and eternal God: 'Whenever I see you or your names or your forms in an amulet, I will have no power over that infant.' She also agreed to have one hundred of her children die every day. Accordingly, every day one hundred demons perish, and for the same reason, we write the angels' names on the amulets of young children. When Lilith sees their names, she remembers her oath, and the child recovers.

So there you have it then. Lilith was pretty much the opposite of Eve. Aggressive, domineering, stubborn. Though after reading more about Adam, and his lack of spine (particularly the pat where he rats out eve right of the bat) I am surprised he didn't submit.
There's more to Lilith more or less, different stories and attributions. I have seen her called the wife of Asmodeus, the mother of vampires, succubi, or just demons, but the sources on that is even less clear and only worth mentioning so if you ever see such a story you can think back to this and go "oooh yeeeah"
The more you know ------* (you can tell i'm tired)

The other thing I mentioned was the Grigori, also known as The watchers. A group of angels that were meant to watch mankind, but got a little too...personal. They've been attributed with the fathering of the nephilem. Supposedly they pop up in the books of Enoch which i think is part of the apocrypha. My sources again are internet based, so I don't take them with deadly seriousness, but i just wanted to show that this story is another one that exists and is a fairly popular tool in fictional, slightly biblical based story telling. (I'm just glad i'm not crazy)
