In an article I'm editing the author refers to a "succubus" as a
"mythological  demon."  But this creature doesn't appear in any of my
standard dictionaries so I don't think she is Greco-Roman, though she may
appear in Near Eastern mythology?  Anyway, I need to add a cultural
reference, so I would be grateful to anyone who can help with a reference
or a more complete definition.  Thanks very much, and reply off-list to:
