Throughout John Milton's epic Paradise Lost, we see Milton continuing the Homeric tradition of epic simile for a number of reasons. Initially, Milton may simply be using these similes to stay true to the decorum of the era's epic, but the similes also do something more for the reader. They show us Milton's attitude towards Satan, the relationship between the heroic and Christian values ​​and much more. It is quite interesting that so far in the epic, Milton does not use an epic simile to describe God, who can define the heavens and who is the almighty king on his own terms. It is something absolute that cannot be described or altered. The majority of almost all similes that have appeared thus far describe Satan, his fallen companions, and Hell. Milton shows the reader the extent of his knowledge, which is not to be doubted in the first place, through these comparisons. Milton draws on all aspects of the world for his comparisons, he selects from a plethora of classic mythological figures, biblical characters, nature, even history and geography and some contemporary issues of the day . Similes are also used to anchor the text somewhat, they are not only present for the aesthetic aspect, connecting it to the world of its readers; giving readers context assuring them that heaven and hell are still with us, and this is very relevant to the reader, so Milton had the reader in mind when designing these comparisons. Through the use of similes describing Satan, we can see that all images equated with Satan are always in a state of constant change, whether it is a hoard of insects or a moving ship, there is always a sense of movement and change. . Satan is in a constant state of fluctuation in relation to the unwavering and omnipresent medium of the paper......which leaves readers in awe of the supernatural scenes depicted. But we also see the way the similes were interwoven into the epic and the additional meaning added. The comparisons may seem to highlight the greatness of the devil when in fact they diminish the devil in comparison to God, showing that everything the devil has done, everything the devil is, the very existence of Satan, is only because God allows it, and the glory should only go to the deserving creator and the Lord God Almighty. Finally, it is ironic that Milton uses the epic simile to describe the antagonist of the story, even though now he looks like the hero, we know he is the ultimate evil. Interestingly, epic values ​​are assigned to the one who is evil, which may mean that a new standard is coming. It is Christian virtues we should seek, not traditional epic values..
