Satan's described initially here as the wind god Orion, a classical figure who vexed or tossed the waves of the Red Sea, ; just as Satan is rousing and inspiring his fallen host of angels; but Milton continues to complicate the simile.

撒旦在这里最初被比作风神猎户，这是一个在红海上呼风唤浪的古典形象，就像撒旦在他的天使随从面前充满了威严;,但是弥尔顿接下来又使这个比喻复杂化了。
