Every people of the world, in every religion, has a legend about the creation by the gods of the first people - men and women. In most cases, a man is primary, but there are myths of some tribes in which a woman mother is first created, and all of humanity originates from this ancestress. The most famous biblical myth about the creation of Adam and Eve, however, in the non-canonical sources the name of another first lady is mentioned - Lilith.
According to the Judeo-Christian myth, at first God created the sky, stars, the Sun and the Moon, then plants and animals, and on the sixth day he set to work on man. From various interpretations, it becomes known that the first person was made of clay or from the earth, or even from dust (dust of the earth). In some books, one can find a mention that God created the first wife of Adam on the same day and gave her the name Lilith, she was, like Adam from clay, but did not possess the qualities that an ancient man would like to see in his woman. She was pretty, but naughty and unfaithful. And here opinions differ: either Adam did not pay due attention to his wife, and she left him, turning into a winged demon, or she just got tired of family life and she left her husband in search of freedom and impressions. But the fact remains - Adam was left alone and began to complain to God: "the wife you gave me is gone, give me a new one!" The Lord loved his creation very much and at his request he will create another female specimen. However, this time, the woman was supposed to be part of the man, both literally and figuratively, the husband and wife - a single whole. According to legend, God put Adam to sleep and took the rib from the sleeping man, from which he created Eve. After awakening, the first man met his new wife, and God ordered them to love and care for each other. But the second wife turned out to be naughty, the snake seduced Eve with the apple with which she fed Adam. After everything was opened, Adam again began to complain to God: "the woman you gave me is to blame, she gave me an apple from the forbidden tree." The result is the expulsion from paradise and the punishment of all women - “you will give birth to your children in agony”. This legend is the same for Christian religions, Judaism and Islam with almost no difference. Almost all myths about the creation of the first people are similar: the material is earth or clay, the first is created by a man and only then by a woman, as a friend for a man, a gift from God. Most often, a woman is created from any part of her husband’s body: rib, other bone, finger, in some legends God takes “eva” from the womb of “adam”, i.e. from the abdomen, or "a woman descended from the man's tongue." This interpretation was in the tribe of the island of Tahiti, the inhabitants of Maori, in Sumero-Akkadian mythology. In other legends you can find a description of how the gods gather and create the first woman Mother, and the man appears much later. As a rule, the names of the first people are not named, it is only indicated that they were heterosexual. In Taoism, a man and a woman are created from the energy of vacuum at the same time, in Hinduism, the first people are created simultaneously either on their own or from part of the body of God. In some myths, the creation of a man, a man or a woman, is not mentioned at all, it is only said that people were already on the earth before the first gods appeared (arrived).
