Do the sages teach that Cain came from the union from Eve and The Satan?

1The Gemara shabbos 145B-146A mentions the Union (see rashi). This article etzion.org.il/en/tanakh/torah/sefer-bereishit/… posits that Cain was born from that Union but I don’t think this is who you mean by sages– ChatzkelCommented May 15, 2023 at 1:59

1Building on the gemara in shabbos above, the Zohar says from this impurity that the snake placed in her from their union, Cain was born– DovCommented Oct 19, 2023 at 7:11

Yes, however, check out the Guide for the Perplexed, which explains the whole "lilith" thing and "snake poison" thing to be a metaphor for ignorance. Search sefaria for "cain" in the guide for the perplexed to find it.
The Zohar explains that there was a general improvement until the revelation at Sinai. Search the zohar for "seth" or "Shet" to find it, should be in parshat bereshit.
