b"Antecedents in Homer and Virgil: who they're antedents of.\\xa0 The Muse, Satan.\\xa0 Satan's relation to God far deeper in meaning and mode than any classical hero's to the gods.\\xa0 This is because of the importance of free will in loving or not loving God.\\xa0 Free will and its connection to freedom of thought and therefore the possibilities of nobility in the rebels.\\xa0 Singing and philosophizing in hell.\\xa0 Freedom = depth of character and experience."
