Eve
3761
BC
The first woman created by God, Eve was formed from Adam's rib to keep
him company in Eden.
God had warned Adam not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil, but the serpent convinced Eve to take a bite -
after all,
what's the worst that could happen? She ate the Forbidden Fruit, and
then gave some to Adam. This triggered the Fall
of Man. Sin entered the world, and humanity was expelled from Paradise.
So everything bad in the world is all her fault.
Eve
is a popular subject in art because she is one woman you can
legitimately depict as in-your-face buck naked, anytime anywhere, and
religious people can't stop you.
A Note
on the Illustration: The Garden of Eden is assumed to be
somewhere in Iraq because that's where the Bible starts, so
I asked the AI to depict a
typical Iraqi girl at the age of 18 - without a navel because, duh.
