Paradise Regained is a poem by English poet John Milton, first published in 1671.
The volume in which it appeared also contained the poet's closet drama Samson Agonistes.
Paradise Regained is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes; indeed, its title, its use of blank verse, and its progression through Christian history recall the earlier work.
However, this effort deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.
