Paradise Lost was an epic poem written by John Milton. The basic plot involves the Fall of Lucifer into Hell where he and his followers (demons) build their city of Pandemonium. Out of hatred toward God and his creation Lucifer (now called Satan) tempts Adam and Eve and their descendents toward a path of sin and damnation.
The epic is obviously religious in inspiration (Milton was a pastor) and its themes were of a religious nature. The themes are sin and Mankind's need for redemption through the sacrifice of a Saviour. It covers the myth of the Fall of Man quite explicitly and is a very interesting read. I also recommend Milton's secondary work Paradise Regained which describes Jesus Christ's temptation in the desert by Satan.
