Myth series (Love)

2007-06-04T12:22:00.001-07:00

Love

Adam and Eve

Love was created by Adam and Eve according to the myth. They were innocent till they ate Eden’s apple. Lilith who was Adam’s wife earlier was envy of Eve for having Adam’s love that she transformed into a serpent, and urged and convinced Eve to try the forbidden apple. Eating of that apple brought new meaning of life to Adam and Eve. By that way, love was invented.

Uncertainty

Lilith existence was not sure. Apple was not correct to name the fruit as well, some myths mentioned it was the beautiful fruit but had no name yet.
