Bring out the epic qualities in Paradise Lost
(Book I).

“Epic” is the name given to narrative poetry which deals, in dignified and elevated style, with some important action, usually heroic. (An epic is a narrative poem, of considerable length, of exalted style, celebrating heroic adventures, mythical or historical). The great examples of classical epics are the Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer, which are unmatched in any other language.
In Latin, the Aenied by the ancient poet, Virgil, is almost equally famous. The Iliad, a poem in twenty-four books, has as its central theme the wrath of Achilles. The Odyssey, also a poem in twenty-four books, deals with the adventures of Odysseus. Aeneid is a poem in twelve books: it is a national epic, designed to celebrate the origin and growth of the Roman empire, the ground-work of the poem being the legends connected with Aeneas.

It is undoubtedly one of the highest efforts of poetical genius and, in one great characteristic, majesty and sublimity, it is fully equal to any known epic poem, ancient or modern. It has the Graeco-Roman form of the epic which follows ancient models. Its aspect, its divisions, and its style are those of the Iliad or the Aeneid. It depicts a unique event, which is the fall of man. The subject is derived from the Old Testament and it is astonishing how, from the few hints given in the scripture, Milton was able to raise so complete and regular a structure. The subject is one for which Milton alone was fitted and, in the conduct of it, he has shown a stretch both of imagination and invention, which is perfectly wonderful. Besides, the nature of this theme is such as to give the poem a universal character............................................................................................
