I have a had copy of Paradise Lost for 20 years, can’t get past chapter 1. Don’t know why, Christian Mythology would seem right up my alley too.

I highly recommend the Longman Annotated edition. It's pricey, but the notes are incredible. Make it a Sunday read, just 1 chapter/section a week. It's glorious!

You weren’t kidding, almost $100 on Amazon. Appreciate the recommendation and added to my wishlist!

Wow, it was much less when I bought mine back in the mid 90s

Maybe used?

...or borrow it via inter library loan first to see if it's worth the price...

Very good idea!
