You could have had Heaven, you know. You had Hell. Humans have called you the prince of this world for as long as anyone can remember. You want what you can't have. Too bad you've already had everything. Poor spoiled Lucifer. Daddy's favorite. No hill left to climb?

— Eve

Eve was ex-wife of Adam and one of the first humans created by God. She is also the mother of master storytellers Cain and Abel.

History

Eve was created by God from one rib of Adam, and lived with him in the Garden of Eden until she was tempted by a Lucifer Morningstar as the Great Serpent to eat the apple from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. She shares it with Adam and as a result, they both got exiled from the Garden and were sent to Earth. So the couple go out into the desert that surrounds the garden and had two sons, Cain and Abel. However, Cain eventually killed Abel for reasons left uncertain and Lucien, the first Raven, helped her and showed how to bury her late son. They became friends and he introduced her to Dream of the Endless, who let her, her husband and her children enter the Dreaming as the living embodiment of their stories.

Notes

Eve as the old crone storyteller

• This character or object is an adaptation of Eve, a character or object in traditional stories. These include, but may not be limited to religious texts, myth, and/or folk lore. More information on the original can be found at Wikipedia.org.
• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985–86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
• The comic book version of Eve was often used as a host for the horror anthology series Secrets of Sinister House where she was usually accompanied by her sons Cain and Abel, and in Weird Mystery Tales, where she was even more popular than Destiny. The three also made regular appearances in the humor magazine Plop!, written and drawn primarily by Spanish cartoonist Sergio Aragonés. Eve later became a background character in Neil Gaiman's Sandman title, making her first appearance in the title in issue #2.
  • Eve's first appearance as host was Secrets of Sinister House #6 (September, 1972).
    

Trivia

• As the one who gained knowledge of evil and thus unleashed it upon the world, Eve's myth has crossed paths with that of Pandora's, and used interchangeably.
