I need help on some notes of John Milton, a brief bio, genre of his work, and Classical examples that employ that genre of his work.

John Milton (1608-1674) is best remembered for his epic
poem, Paradise Lost, and is considered one of England's greatest
writers. A scholar fluent in at least three languages, he served as an official under
Oliver Cromwell, the non-royal leader and Lord Protector of England. Milton wrote in
praise of the Commonwealth of England (the short era of common rule following the
execution of King Charles I), but he lost his political powers following the restoration
of the monarchy. He went into hiding but was eventually awarded a pardon. Nevertheless,
it was from this time after 1660--though suffering from glaucoma and, later,
blindness--that Milton wrote his greatest works. Paradise
Lost (1667), considered one of the greatest works of blank verse poetry in
the English language, in part laments the end of common rule.
