HelpRe: Some interesting spottings

Very true with Judas Iscariot.
Jane Yolen has a series of books about women and biblical women, I think Deliah is in there. I know Salome is.
https://www.janeyolen.com/meet-me-at-the-well-the-girls-and-women-of-the-bible/ I Lilith isn't. I used to read Miriam a lot of books on mythology, but I don't think I ever came across a story of Lilith. Probably a good thing, because her story is terrifying.
t's an excellent book. I recommend just about everything Yolen writes, though.

I think she was referring to (the assumption of?) Delilah being a Philistine working for Philistines. The story of Judith killing Holofernes is similar, and she gets praise for it in the bible, because she was Judean.

Exactly.
Yeah, that's fair
