In today's episode of Paideia Today, we get into book one of Paradise Lost.  We start by looking at his invocation of the Muse, and how he invokes the Classical epics of yore in order to acknowledge the vehicle of epic narrative while at the same time asserting that his is as much greater as his subject, the fall and redemption of mankind, is greater.  We then look to the description of the 'geography' of hell and its theological rationale as well as taking an extended look at the mind and character of Satan by attending to a few of his famous speeches.
