First published in 1667, "Paradise Lost "is considered to be the greatest epic poem in English literature. Its roots lie in the Genesis account of the world's creation and Adam and Eve's expulsion from Eden; it also references tales from the "Metamorphoses," the "Iliad" and "Odyssey," and the "Aeneid." Notes by John A. Himes.
