| Abstract | ||
| As one of the most well-read poets of his time, Milton’s depth of knowledge and skill with language is evident in his literary works. The use of allusions are a distinctive feature of his writing. The abundant use of classical allusions in Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost part IX add to the rich descriptions and images included in the poem. The paper attempts to list and analyse the important classical allusions which are found in the passages of Paradise Lost. As they enhance understanding as they help the reader to anticipate the events by comparing the myth with the event in the poem for similarities or differences. | ||
