The Columbia Encyclopaedia states: "Adam,[Heb.,=man], in the Bible, is the first man. In the Book of Genesis, God creates humankind in his image as a species of male and female, giving them dominion over other life. Elsewhere in Genesis, however, Adam is the personal name of the first man for whom the created order is then fashioned. From his body, Eve is made to be his helper and partner. After the Fall, i.e., their disobedience, they are expelled from the Garden of Eden." Paradise Lost only follows the action until the fall of man. Adam and Eve have their children after their expulsion. Seth is the least well known of their children. Hunter Cain murdered shepherd Abel out of jealousy and hence bore 'the mark of Cain'.
