I’m not sure Milton cares how scripturally close what happens in PL is. I’m not sure I’d call Adam’s eating the apple “brave” either, and more of a lapse of reason.
But I feel his treatment of man's original sin as some kind of bravery to defend his poor woman is literal garbage and NOT scriptural. There's something weak about it.

So saying, she embrac'd him, and for joy Tenderly wept, much won that he his Love Had so enobl'd, as of choice to incurr Divine displeasure for her sake, or Death. Call that what you will, to me it's bravery. Somewhat like Mozart's Don Giovanni.
