However, despite his indus-\\ntry and ambition, we find him quietly retiring to his\\nfather s house at Horton, a little village about sev-\\nenteen miles northwest of London. Here, in the quiet\\nof an English village, he spent five years of patient\\nstudy, varied by rambles in the pastures and woods of\\nBuckinghamshire. We are to suppose that he made\\noccasional visits to London, then (1637) a city of three\\nhundred thousand inhabitants.

As has been said in the introductory note\\non p. 93, the Scripture references usually given are very un-\\nsatisfactory, being little more than the mere mention of the\\nnames given in Milton s text. Milton presents here the char-\\nacters of his mighty epic as does Homer when he gives his cata-\\nlogue of heroes. The characteristics of the fallen angels are\\ngiven in the poem itself much more fully than they are given\\nin the Scripture references. It may be said that these lines\\nof the poem contain all the material necessary for their own\\nexplanation. It may, however, be a little puzzling to under-\\nstand why Milton gives so many lines to the fallen angels\\nas heathen gods. One editor says that Milton used these names\\nfor their grandiloquent sound and rich but vague suggestion,\\nrather than for any definite purpose of conveying information.\\nI do not wholly agree with this editor. To Milton, these gods\\nand places with their history were as familiar as are playmates\\nand playgrounds to a schoolboy. It seems to me that his pur-\\npose was to increase our horror of the fallen angels by detailing\\ntheir after-conduct as heathen gods, a simple application of\\nmaking clear the unknown by citing the known for his readers\\nknew the tales of heathen gods better than they did Mil-\\nton s sublime creation. His detailed account seems, therefore,\\nan attempt to help the reader to realize the fallen angels by\\nciting their familiar after-conduct. But the high school pupil\\nis little aided by this attempt. He should try to conceive these\\nfallen angels, not as heathen gods, but as they are described in\\nB. I., 423-431.
