Detailed explanation-1: -As they come, Milton is able to list the major devils that now occupy Hell: Moloch, Chemos, Baalem, Ashtaroth, Astarte, Astoreth, Dagon, Rimmon, Osiris, Isis, Orus, Mammon, and Belial.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fallen angels that will be discussed in the following passages are Satan, Beelzebub, Moloch, Chemos, Baal, Astarte, Thammuz, Dagon, Rimmon, Osiris, Isis and Belial. Satan is known in every culture; he is even worshiped by people through his followers.
Detailed explanation-3: -God, in Paradise Lost, is less a developed character than a personification of abstract ideas. He is unknowable to humankind and to some extent lacks emotion and depth. He has no weaknesses, embodies pure reason, and is always just.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The theme of Book I of Paradise Lost is resolution and perseverance in the face of overwhelming defeat. As the book begins, Satan and those angels who he swayed to join him have fallen from heaven, becoming demons.
Detailed explanation-5: -Perhaps the most notable descriptions, though, are the references made to him by the Romantic poets: Azazel (described as “a cherub tall") is a fallen angel and Lucifer’s standard bearer in John Milton’s Paradise Lost, and is one of the angels in Lord Byron’s drama Heaven and Earth.
