Detailed explanation-1: -Angels in Paradise Lost are incorporeal and they are not limited to just one form. Angels are shapeshifters! Unlike humans, angels are made from undefinable matter. Just like humans are made from atoms, angels are made from divine matter, since they are spirits.
Detailed explanation-2: -Satan, as God himself, has followers who are entities, but in Milton’s Paradise Lost they are recognized as evil entities, prepared to do anything in order to be accepted in Satan’s Pandemonium. These followers are the fallen angels who have established their own religions, now known as pagan religions.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, this paper finds an attempt to discuss some of the major fallen angels of Paradise Lost: Beelzebub, Moloch, Baal and Astarte, and Osiris and Isis.
Detailed explanation-4: -The corresponding female deities, or consorts were known as Ashtaroth. Usually, these deities were worshipped by fertility rituals, a form of worship that was dismissed by Christianity and Judaism. Milton says that these gods had no fixed sexual identity and could transform from one form to another.
