If anyone could help me out on this please!
"All poets and heroes, like Memnon, are the children of Aurora, and emit their music at sunrise" best illustrates:
apostrophe
fantasy
elaboration
allusion
Nevermind think I figured it out, d ;-)
Great job! It seems like you got the answer on your own. Just in case, let me explain the answer for you.
The line "All poets and heroes, like Memnon, are the children of Aurora, and emit their music at sunrise" is an example of an allusion. An allusion is a literary device that refers to a person, place, event, or work of art that is not directly mentioned in the text. In this case, the reference to Memnon, who in Greek mythology was known as the son of Aurora (the goddess of dawn), is used to suggest that poets and heroes also possess qualities associated with dawn, such as the ability to bring forth beautiful music (emit their music at sunrise).
Understanding this literary device helps us analyze texts and identify the deeper layers of meaning in a piece of writing. If you ever come across similar questions in the future, remember to look for any indirect references or connections to other elements outside the text to determine if it's an allusion. Keep up the good work!
