The poem follows the epic tradition of starting in medias res, the background story being recounted later. Milton's story has two narrative arcs, one about Satan and the other, Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other fallen angels have been defeated and banished to Hell, or, as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus.
