Cain's descent from Satan, who is the angel Samael.

Cain is not mentioned in Adams "generations" because his father is satan.

Abel died without having any progeny (children) and thus not in the line of Christ.

Gen 4:1-2
1 And Adam knew*1 Eve his wife; and she conceived*2, and bare Cain*3, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD*4.

Explanations from above verse: *1 knew = Sexual intercourse. *2 conceived = Second conception (Abel). *3 Cain = Born first (serpents son). *4 = Read as: "I have gotten a son with the help of the Lord:"

2 And she again*1 bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

Explanations from above verse: *1 again = Hebrew word # 3254; yacaph (yaw-saf'); a primitive root; to add or augment (often adverbial, to continue to do a thing).

In other words, Eve continued in labor and had the second of two children, who were twins.

From the Jewish Talmud, Jewish Encyclopedias, and Other Early Jewish Writings.

Yebamoth 103b: Rabbi Johanan stated: "When the serpent copulated with Eve, he infused her with lust."
Haye Sarah 126a: Another Rabbi states: "Thus I have learnt, that when the serpent had intercourse with Eve he injected defilement into her."

Haye Sarah 126b Another stated: "You rightly said that when the serpent had carnal intercourse with Eve he injected into her defilement."

Yevamot 103b: "According to the midrash, the snake seduced her to commit adultery with him. Thus a thrice repeated saying of Rabbi Yohanan has it that 'at the time that the snake had intercourse with Eve, he introduced filth into her..."

Ahare Moth 76b: One Rabbinic source stated: "Eve bore Cain from the filth of the serpent, and therefore from him were descended all the wicked generations, and from his side is the abode of spirits and demons."

Bereshith 36b: "For two beings had intercourse with Eve, and she conceived both and bore two children. Each followed one of the male parents, to this side and one to the other, and similarly their characters."

Shabbath 146a: "For when the serpent came upon Eve he injected lust into her."

Yevamot 103b: "...at the time that the snake had intercourse with Eve, he introduced filth into her.

Zohar I, 28b: "For they are the children of the ancient serpent which seduced Eve..."

Jewish Encycl.1905.Vol.XI p.69: "Satan was the seducer and paramour of Eve."

Legends of the Bible, by Louis Ginsberg, p.54: "Satan, in the guise of the serpent, approached her and the fruit of their union was Cain, the ancestor of all impious generations that were rebellious toward God, and rose up against Him. Cain's descent from Satan, who is the angel Sammael, was revealed in his seraphic appearance. At his birth, the exclamation was wrung from Eve, 'I have gotten a man, through an angel of the Lord."

Targum Pseudo-Jonathan: "Adam knew about his wife Eve that she had conceived by Sammael the angel of the Lord, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain."

Targum of Jonathan: "And Adam was aware that Eve his wife had conceived from Sammael the angel, and she became pregnant and bare Cain, and he was like those on high, not like those below; and she said, 'I have acquired a man, the angel of the Lord."

Jewish Encyc.1904-Vol.9.p.70: "The chief functions of Satan are, as already noted, those of temptation, accusation, and punishment. He was an active agent in the fall of man (Pirke R. El. Xii.) and was the father of Cain."

Jewish Encyc.1904-Vol.5,p.275: "Eve became pregnant, and bore Cain and Abel on the very day of (her creation and) expulsion from Eden (Gen. R. xii) Cain's real father was not Adam, but one of the demons..."

Pirqei de Rabbi Eliezer: "The serpent came into her and she became pregnant with Cain, as it says, "And the man knew his wife Eve. "What did he know" That she was already pregnant. (by Satan.)

Jerusalem Targum: "And Adam knew his wife, who had desired the Angel; and she conceived, and bare Cain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the Angel of the Lord. And she added to bear from her husband Adamhis twin, even Abel."

The Encycl. Britannica Vol.VIII - 1910. p.122 (Jewish Interpretations of Scripture): "The birth of Cain is ascribed to a union of Satan with Eve."

Lilith
In the Babylonian tradition, there is a triad of demons with whom Lilith is associated. The male is called Lilu, and the two females are Lilitu, a frigid, barren, & husbandless demon who roamed the night searching for men to seduce or drink their blood, and Ardat Lili, the 'maid of desolation.'

Lilith is thought be the demon of waste places who originally lived in the garden of the Sumerian goddess, Innana, queen of heaven. She is mentioned only briefly in the Hebrew Bible in Isaiah 34:14.

In Jewish traditions, Lilith was created with Adam from the dust of the earth, & became his first wife. She was stubborn, though, & refused to be subservient to her husband. Instead of becoming Adam's servant, she left him & was turned out of Paradise. However, before God created Eve, He sent 3 angels to try to convince Lilith to return to Adam. She refused, & God cursed her by sentencing 100 of her offspring to die each day. After her expulsion from Paradise, however, she slept once more with Adam, & bore the Shedim, Lilin, & Rauchin.

Later, in Kabbalistic circles, Lilith became the mistress of Sammael.

It is mistakenly thought that Lilith's name was derived from the Hebrew word lailah, which means 'night.' This was probably derived from the similarity of the two words, and the idea that Lilith was mostly active at night.

That's not a myth, nor is it truth, it's part of the background story of the roleplaying world Vampire:The Masquerade by White Wolf Publishing. Some nice game designers made it up for our enjoyment.

That's one I never heard before.
The legend says that,
Lilith was Adam's first wife before Eve.
He wasn't man enough to satisfy her,
so she ran off with
a bunch of demons.

Cain is one of Adam's sons.
I don't think he became a
demon in any legend that I remember.

I thought the vampires were like unicorns,
they just were always there...
Different legends portray them in many ways.
I like to think that Prince Vlad was the beginning...

Adam is said to be a perfect saint until he either recognizes his sin or Cain's homicide that is the cause of bringing death into the world. He then separates from holy Eve, sleeps alone, and fasts for 130 years. During this time Lilith, also known as Pizna, and Naamah desired his beauty and came to him against his will. They bore him many demons and spirits called "the plagues of humankind".
Older sources do not state clearly that after Lilith's Red Sea sojourn, she returned to Adam and beget children from him. In the Zohar, however, Lilith is said to have succeeded in begetting offspring from Adam during their short lived connubium. Lilith leaves Adam in Eden as she is not a suitable helpmeet for him. She returns, later, to force herself upon him. But before doing so she attaches herself to Cain and bears him numerous spirits and demons.

No, she just refused to be sexually submissive to Adam. She flew away from him, and was cursed because of it. She copulates with demons and makes lots of demon babies. They all like to steal human babies.

Myth.

Lillith never existed; she is an invention of someone's early imagination.
