Craft an argument about Milton’s use of Homer in Paradise Lost.

1. Craft an argument about Milton’s use of Homer in Paradise Lost. You may consider related Greek sources if you wish, but your essay must deal in part with Milton’s use of The Iliad, The Odyssey, or both. 2. Craft an argument about heroism in Paradise Lost, and how it differs from heroism as defined by The Iliad and The Odyssey. P.S. You cannot argue that Milton is a Satanist. Sorry! 3. In Book I, Milton asserts that his mission is to “assert Eternal Providence/ And Justifie the wayes of God to men.” How does Paradise Lost accomplish this mission or fail in the attempt? 4. Milton fought against the tyranny of monarchy all his life, even going so far as to write The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates in support of the beheading of King Charles I. However, in Paradise Lost, he portrays God as a sovereign king who is innately good, while the evil Satan objects to submitting to God and even refers to him as a “Tyrant” on numerous occasions. Craft an argument about how Milton’s politics, life, and cultural context influenced his creation of Paradise Lost.
