It has been called "most illuminating" for its historical and typological perspective on Milton's Satan as embodying both positive and negative values. The book has also been significant in pointing out the essential ambiguity of Prometheus and his dual Christ-like/Satanic nature as developed in the Christian tradition.

John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" features Satan as its main protagonist. Milton portrays Satan as a tragic antihero destroyed by his own hubris.
