ChatGPT's take: "While Lilith is not mentioned in the Book of Genesis, she appears in later Jewish texts, including the Talmud and the Midrash. According to these texts, Lilith was Adam's first wife, created from the same dust as Adam. However, Lilith refused to be subservient to Adam and left the Garden of Eden. She is often depicted as a demon or a seductress in later Jewish folklore.
The Epic of Gilgamesh does not mention Lilith either, as she is a figure from Jewish mythology. However, there are some similarities between Lilith and Enkidu's wild nature in the Epic of Gilgamesh, as they both represent a rejection of societal norms and a connection to primal, untamed energy.
It's important to note that while there may be similarities and influences between different mythologies, each mythology should be understood on its own terms and within its own cultural context."
You're making me want to read the Epic of Gilgamesh...
Also, framing Jesus' virgin birth as "in the future" assumes a Christian interpretation :P Genesis is most definitely pre-Christian itself.

For fun, I started an interpretation of the Epic of Gilgamesh in the Toki Pona language.
