Paradise Lost Or The Great Dragon Cast Out is a book published in 1872 and written by an author using the pseudonym Redivivus, Lucian. The book is a retelling of the biblical story of the fall of Satan, also known as the Great Dragon, from heaven and his subsequent attempts to corrupt humanity. The book is written in a poetic style, similar to John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost, which tells the same story. However, Redivivus, Lucian's version of the story differs from Milton's in several ways, including the portrayal of Satan as a sympathetic character who is not entirely evil. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which covers a different part of the story. The first chapter introduces Satan and his fellow fallen angels, who are cast out of heaven and land on Earth. The subsequent chapters follow Satan's attempts to corrupt humanity, including his temptation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Throughout the book, Redivivus, Lucian explores themes of temptation, sin, and redemption. The book also includes religious and philosophical discussions, as well as references to other literary works, such as Dante's Inferno.
