Vita Adae et Evae
We crack open the Latin version of Vita Adae et Evae (aka The Life of Adam and Eve)—a pseudepigrapha text pinned to Moses long after the fact—and immediately trip over multiple editions, from Greek to Armenian, because of course the Bible multiverse needed DLC. We’re reading the English translation of the Latin because it’s the most readable for non-scholars who still want the tea without the footnote hangover.
Chapters 1–21 deliver premium chaos: Adam and Eve spend a week not eating (apparently “full apple” is a superfood?) then embark on a hunger strike because post-Eden snacks are “animal food.” Adam contemplates “angelic food,” Eve contemplates… death, and we contemplate how anyone survived the Bronze Age with this decision-making. Meanwhile, Satan (Sir Sneckles, if you’re nasty) explains his villain origin story: he refused to worship Adam per Michael’s command, got demoted from five-star-heaven to Best Western hell-adjacent, and decided petty revenge was the vibe. Honestly? It reads like a celestial HR dispute.
We also skewer the text’s sexism—as Eve gets painted dramatic-for-plot while Adam whines about losing his divine DoorDash—and we roast God’s third-person management style. Then we cap the night with housekeeping: yes, this is a multi-parter (57 micro-chapters!), and yes, we record live on Discord every Tuesday at 10pm ET—come heckle us in real time.

📌 Topics Covered:
- Which version are we even reading? Why Latin > Greek (this time) for sanity’s sake.
- Pseudepigrapha 101: “Moses wrote it” … sure, Jan.
- Satan’s grievance: “I’m not worshiping Dirt Man.” (Michael says “do it,” Satan says “nah.”)
- Hunger Games, Eden Edition: Two weeks without food because Olive Garden ≠ McDonald’s.
- Eve as scapegoat, again: We side-eye the blame-shifting and point out Adam had the instructions too.
- Discord Live Tuesdays @ 10pm ET: Come correct our pronunciations and roast along.
💬 Best Quote from the Episode:
“I’m gonna go out on a limb here and kind of defend the devil a little bit.”
