Featured Article: Lilith Lady Lilith by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Lilith is a female demon figure found in Mesopotamian mythology and Jewish folklore, associated with sexual temptation, storms, disease, illness, and death. In some Jewish mystical writings she is said to be the first wife of Adam, who refused to lie under him, and voluntarily left the Garden of Eden. She was especially feared in medieval Judaism for her purported ability to harm young children, and amulets were once worn to protect children from Lilith's harm. Popular Article: Napoleon Bonaparte Napoleon in His Study by Jacques-Louis David (1812) Napoleon I Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, King of Italy (August 15, 1769 – May 5, 1821) was a general of the French Revolution who became the ruler of France and Italy. He acquired control of most of the western and central mainland of Europe by conquest or alliance until his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812, followed by defeat at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, which led to his abdication several months later and his exile to the island of Elba. He staged a comeback known as the Hundred Days (les Cent Jours), but was again defeated decisively at the Battle of Waterloo in present day Belgium on June 18, 1815, followed shortly afterward by his surrender to the British and his exile to the island of Saint Helena, where he died six years later.
