The Private Life of Helen of Troy. Adam and Eve: Though He Knew Better

"After Troy, Helen re-established herself in the home. It will be seen that apart from her divine beauty and entire frankness she was a conventional woman."
Adapted from the Greek legend of Helen of Troy who was said to have been the most beautiful woman in the world, the story of this book is set after the burning of Troy. 
Written by John Erskine, one of the pioneers of the Great Books movement in the 1930s, the novel topped the bestseller list in 1926.

God made man, like Himself, lonely. The animals had mates, but the man had a soul. God admired this distinction, but the man at that time did not. Man tried to make friends with the animals, but a day came when the divine loneliness could not be endured, so God made Lilith, the most seductive body of a woman the oldest poet remembers. However Lilith had no soul, then God created Eve and divided the one soul between them. Not the addition Adam asked for, but division.
