《失乐园》写于 1667 年，是弥尔顿最杰出的诗篇，全诗长约一万行，分 十二卷，故事取自《圣约·旧约》。诗人弥尔顿（Milton）经常在其诗歌中引用希腊罗马神话，如《失乐园》（尽管《失乐园》取材于圣经，但其中引用了大量神话典故）。
叙述人类始祖夏娃和亚当因受撒旦引诱， 偷吃知识树上的禁里，违背了上帝旨令，被逐出乐园。诗人写这首诗的目的 在于说明人类不幸的根源。他认为人类由于理性不强，意志薄弱，经不起外界的影响和引诱，因而感情冲动，走错道路，丧失了乐园；夏娃的堕落是由 于盲目求知，妄想成神；亚当的堕落是由于溺爱妻子，感情用事；撒旦的堕 落是由于野心勃勃，骄傲自满。诗人通过他们的遭遇，暗示英国资产阶级革 命也由于道德堕落，骄奢淫逸而惨遭失败。
