Season 3 of Paideia Today begins with the colossal figure of John Milton.  Milton's Paradise Lost is arguably the greatest poem ever written, certainly the greatest in the English language.    The church father Tertullian once famously asked, what does Athens have to do with Jerusalem?  Milton's answer would be that theologically speaking it has nothing.  Nonetheless, in terms of its literary expression, Milton's Puritanism is inseparably linked with his Classicism.  At the same time, the epic form that he uses for his greatest work is transformed by the content of his theological convictions.  This is both a work of the utmost religious piety and of aesthetic expression.
