When John Milton, the poet, dies, he ascends not to the Christian Heaven or Hell, but to a cosmic realm where all gods of all mythologies reside. They each grant him a fragment of their power, recognizing his unparalleled mastery of language and understanding of the divine and infernal. Reborn into a new universe where gods and mortals mingle, Milton possesses absolute power and dominion over time, space, and reality itself.
