Hello Veeky Forums.
I just received "paradise lost and paradise regained" as a gift, but it's extremely difficult to read. There are a lot of references and metaphors that I do not understand. What are some books I need to read prior to reading "paradise lost and paradise regained"?

>There are a lot of references and metaphors that I do not understand
Read a version with notes
And New Testament
Why buy the book again when I already have it.
Thank you for the info tho, will read the bible as soon as possible.
No libraries? It's a classic, so most libraries should have it.
Post an example passage of what you find difficult.
I want to read it in english, libraries here don't have it in english.
"Sing, Heavenly Muse, that, on the secret top of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire"
He is referencing Homer who asks the muses to sing but this time its mount horeb where the ten commandments were given since its christian
So should I read something by Homer too ?
