"'Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our woe, With loss of Eden, till one greater Man Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat....' Opening Lines of Paradise Lost. While Homer, Virgil, and Dante chose to tell the stories of mere men who conquered kingdoms, sacked cities, and passed through terrors, Milton chose as the subject for his epic poem one of the greatest events in the history of the world-the Fall. Milton portrays the devil as a classical hero who infects the first man and woman with pride and self-regard. Milton takes all the best of classical poetry and uses it to tell a story about simple obedience, petty self-love, and unfathomable forgiveness"--
