Detailed explanation-1: -Milton is best known for Paradise Lost, widely regarded as the greatest epic poem in English.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whereas Paradise Lost depicts Lucifer’s fall from Heaven and Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Paradise Regained centers on the temptation of Christ, drawing on the Gospel of Luke for its inspiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many scholars consider Paradise Lost to be one of the greatest poems in the English language. It tells the biblical story of the fall from grace of Adam and Eve (and, by extension, all humanity) in language that is a supreme achievement of rhythm and sound.
Detailed explanation-4: -The most important duty of an epic poet is to select a moral to illustrate and establish. In the Paradise Lost Milton has chosen his theme to establish a moral. This moral is ‘To justify the ways of God to men. ‘ Thus the Paradise Lost fulfils the first and the most important condition of an epic.
