The invocation in "Paradise Lost" serves as a prayer or request for divine inspiration and guidance. It sets the tone for the epic poem and seeks the help of the muse to aid the poet in telling the epic story of the fall of man. Milton uses the invocation to establish his poetic authority and align himself with the epic tradition.
