In book VII and VIII of Paradise Lost Adam seems really curious about the creation of the world and of his own self. Raphael begins to explain to Adam the story. After their conversation, Adam speaks to Raphael about the stars and things. Raphael seems like he knows a lot about the world and creation. Adam asks him many questions threw out their time together. After Raphael speaks, Adam tells him about his own creation, and when he first woke up. After Adam realized how much he could do God came and explained more to him, and told him that he may not eat from the Tree of Knowledge.
Timaeus by Plato is very similar to book VII and VII. Both address the creation of the world by God, even though different Gods. Also, the Gods both want good to come from their work. Both Milton and Plato speak of how women come from man, and how they are weaker. Milton says in book VIII that Eve is not as pure as Adam because she came from his rib. Plato said that women come from men who were too weak.
