Paradise Regained

John Milton

⏱ 8 minEpic & myth

Where the first epic told how Paradise was lost, this brief sequel tells how it is regained -- not by battle, but by one man's unshakeable refusal to sin, as Satan tempts the fasting Son of God in the wilderness with bread, kingdoms, glory, and the pinnacle of the Temple. Milton's majestic short epic.
