Traces of Lilith occur in Greek Mythology. To be fair, "traces" is putting it lightly. Lilith is evident in at least three races of humanoid women, the Lamiai, the Empusae and the Mormo. She is also similar to the Libyan Queen Lamia and the sorceress Medea. Parallels abound in the the heritage of these creatures, their legacies and physical depictions. It's very likely they represent a phase in Lilith's evolution from ancient Sumer to the woman we know today. Therefore they can be coined transitional Liliths.
