Detailed explanation-1: -Milton’s underlying claim in Paradise Lost is that he has been inspired by his heavenly muse with knowledge of things unknowable to fallen humans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shelley used Milton’s style and verse in many of his poems. Milton was obviously a great model for him. In the opinion of Shelley, Milton is to be associated with the greatest names in poetry such as Homer, Virgil, Dante and Shakespeare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Milton’s muse is the Holy Spirit, which inspired the Christian Bible, not one of the nine classical muses who reside on Mount Helicon-the “Aonian mount” of I. 15 .
Detailed explanation-4: -The basic statement of Milton in his invocation has been to treat the “Fall of man” and as the basic concern of the poet. Milton asks the heavenly Mose to help him to compose a poem dealing with the subject of man’s first disobedience to God in eating the fruit of the forbidden tree.
