“…O estudo de Russell M. Hillier (2009) acerca de "fraud and force"as duas táticas militares comumente empregadas no heroísmo clássico, cujas mais puras manifestações são exemplificadas pela sanha assassina de Aquiles e pelos ardis de Odisseu-demonstra a constância dessas atitudes na fala e nos atos de Satã, bem como nos comentários acerca destes feitos por Milton:…”

“…Hillier (2009) cita um estudo de Simone Weil (1956) acerca da Ilíada, no qual a filósofa advoga ser força o conceito central do épico homérico, e a descreve como sendo "that x that turns anybody who is subjected to it into a thing"(Weil: 1956 apud Hillier: 2009. Hillier acredita que "Milton's Satan fits Weil's category x, because he understands all matter and phenomena that are creative expressions of God's intrinsic goodness to be functional and reducible to instruments only valid in accomplishing his own self-glorification.…”

While the bee simile in book 1 of Paradise Lost has garnered much critical attention, the significant image of the hive in Milton’s corpus remains largely overlooked. Deriving from an ancient literary tradition, the bee metaphor was enlisted in seventeenth-century England as a divine symbol of monarchical and ecclesiastical power structures. From his polemic to his epic, Milton, by contrast, consistently uses apian imagery to register harsh critiques of earthly monarchy, feminine influence, and Catholic superstition. Beginning with an unexamined bee passage in Eikonoklastes , this article traces Milton’s revisionist reading of the apiological kingdom, which culminates in his representation of insect and related serpentine imagery in Paradise Lost . I argue that the Miltonic hive serves as a symbol of a natural corruption of the divine hierarchy, an inevitable failure to replicate on earth or in hell the benevolent design of heaven.
