When she was completed, she so horrified Adam (he saw her as being "full of blood and secretions," not realizing that he himself was the same) he refused to go near her or even give her a name.<br /><br />Some versions state that she was destroyed, while others claim that she was allowed to leave him and wander the earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
