Description
Who was Eve?
Eve was the first woman, created by God as a companion for Adam (Gen.2.22). She was formed from one of Adam's ribs and was named "Eve" because she would become the mother of all living (Gen.3.20). Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden (Gen.3.1-6). She ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, resulting in their disobedience and the introduction of sin into the world (Gen.3.6-7). As a consequence, Eve experienced pain in childbirth and a desire for her husband, while Adam had to labor to provide for them (Gen.3.16-19). Despite this, Eve is recognized as the mother of the human race (Gen.4.1). Paul references Eve's deception as a warning against false teachers (2Co.11.3) and notes that Adam was created first, then Eve (1Ti.2.13).
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.

The pattern
Where Eve is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
4 verses across 3 of 66 books; 63 write the name nowhere. Named in Genesis (2), 2 Corinthians (1) and 1 Timothy (1).
