The story of the earth’s creation in “Genesis” is useful to read when reading books 7-8 of Paradise Lost. Google “genesis 1-3” and read the biblical version. It won’t take long. When you do, note the break in the story telling: the story is told twice. See the break displayed here.

The rule for formatting titles is, “if the work is a full-length work, italicize the title; it the work is a piece of a larger whole, place the title in quotation marks.” So even though Milton’s great epic is a poem, the title should be italicized, not placed in quotation marks.
Thus, Paradise Lost.
