Lilith's Legacy: The Evolution of the Succubus

Описание: The succubus, a creature of myth and folklore, is characterized not by physical ferocity but by her alluring beauty, representing desire and dread. These beings, emerging from the depths of human anxieties, embody temptation and are central to various legends. Their origins are diverse, with figures like Lilith from Abrahamic lore, depicted as a demon preying on men, to Lilitu in Mesopotamian civilization, a demon targeting sleeping men. Initially portrayed as monstrous, the perception of succubi evolved during the Middle Ages into entities of captivating beauty, reflecting societal fears about female freedom. They are known as shape-shifters, manipulating dreams and desires, leaving their victims emotionally and spiritually depleted. Succubi raise the question of whether they are literal beings or symbolic of inner fears and cautionary tales about the dangers lurking in the darkness.
