What is the title of the epic poem by John Milton?

The Canterbury Tales
The Odyssey
Paradise Lost
Beowulf

The correct answer is: Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost is the correct answer because it is the only epic poem that was written by John Milton. The other options are incorrect because The Canterbury Tales was written by Geoffrey Chaucer, The Odyssey was written by Homer, and Beowulf was written by an unknown author. These are all epic poems, but they are not written by John Milton.
