Potiphar's wife was named
Zuleicha. She appears nameless in most
Bibles because the translaters incorporating stories of the Jewish
Talmud into the
Old Testament were either
lazy, or not wanting to give fame to the name of
a woman who just wanted to have a little fun with a cute boy.
In The Legends of the Jews, a German manuscript by Louis Ginzberg, several seduction attempts by Zuleicha are described, along with Joseph's pious rejections.
