Synopsis

In a vast cosmic theater of war between the forces of God and Lucifer's rebellion, Milton narrates the fall of Adam and Eve from Paradise. The epic begins with Satan surveying his defeated legions in Hell before he sets out to corrupt humanity through deception—a monumental meditation on free will, obedience, and the nature of evil.
