So I guess Eve was Adam's second wife. I always wondered what happened to his first wife.
That would have been (according to the some of the ancient Mesopotamean and Judean texts) Lilith. AKA "primordial she-demon". She was banished from Eden for not getting with the program. According to how she is described, Adam must have been a bit sorry to see her go.
