Well known canonical work, Paradise Lost
Canonicity doesn't matter when the characters are mythical to begin with.
That's why I demand all discussions about any mythology to take my personal fictions into account instead of the most common historical versions.
No, I haven't shared them with anyone, and they're clearly marked "Dreams I had Once on The Astral Plane" but if you disagree with my points that they're relevant to a general understanding of the myths it makes you an idiot theist.
Well, considering it's a retelling of canonical works and is one of the most important literary works in the English language, I thought it relevant. After all, there's nothing in Paradise Lost that contradicts canon, and Milton's philosophy and theology are fairly well regarded if heterodox.
