How Odin Lost his Eye (Norse mythology)
Why was it not the case then, that Lilith was the first on earth to commit sin rather than Eve? (but actually it was Lucifer who was the initiator of the entrance of sin into those Heavenly realms, once he realised that he had been ‘misguided’ into accepting the Guardianship of the earth, from which there was no way out once he had committed to it!) But please ask yourself, was/is this myth being prolonged/perpetuated just a diversionary tactic in order to divert the actual transgression away from Eve, when it was she who under the connivance of Lucifer actually and intentionally disobeyed The LORD GOD first, when He had actually and expressly forbad Adam ALONE not to eat of ‘The Tree of Knowledge’ rather than Eve, because in this instance SHE was incidental to the proceedings! The LORD having ALREADY commanded HIM not to eat of that Tree, otherwise HE would die, Eve never came into the equation, because if she then had not QUITE DELIBERATELY encouraged Adam to eat of it, and it had remained at just her having then eaten of it, THEN, quite possibly she could have been replaced! So did she realise that, and that is why she did what she did, believing that The LORD would not destroy His protegee Adam after all, whereas, SHE was still at that time, vulnerable and expendable IF as I state, it had remained at that. But her duplicity and conniving mindset with help from Lucifer spurred her on to do what she did! And the rest as they say, is history!
