In Paradise Lost Milton's Satan famously says that it is better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven. I don't recall the exact context. Had Milton's God just given him a chance to enter heaven?
That's an interesting question and one I am not prepared to answer since I last read Paradise Lost about 12 years ago. Does anyone else know the context?
If I recall, Satan is merely referring to his old job as God's flunky, and not suggesting that God offered him anything after his fall.
