They called it New Amsterdam. It wasn't renamed New York City until June of 1665 as it was reincorporated under English law and was named after the Duke of York.
Even though the proverb was not posted here, this question is still perfectly answerable.
Answer:
The rhetorical device Twain uses by referencing a well-known proverb is allusion.
Explanation:
<u>Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone that has significance. The author does not explain much, since he/she assumes the audience knows who or what he/she refers to. </u>
<u>For instance, if someone says a woman is as beautiful as Helen of Troy, we would understand he/she means that woman is extremely beautiful. Helen of Troy is a famous character from the </u><u><em>Iliad</em></u><u>, by Homer, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The person making the allusion will not explain this fact, since it is well know.</u>
Therefore, if Twain is referring to a well-known proverb, he is making an allusion to it.
<span>The passage has a lot of inaccuracies. Zeus was never known as the most powerful god, he was simply king of the gods because he started the war against the Titans called the Titanomachy. Initially the Primordial gods were in power, until Gaia (first deity to ever be born) went to her children and asked them who would help her get rid of their father because she was mad he trapped their children, the Hecatonchires, in Tartarus. Only Cronus volunteered. He castrated his dad, Uranus, and then took over as king of the gods. When his wife (and sister) Rhea was pregnant with the first child, Hestia, he received a prophecy saying a son would overthrow him like he did his father. He therefore swallowed every child that Rhea bore him (including the female goddesses in case they had a son that could be the one to overthrow him). Rhea, when pregnant with Zeus, went to her mother and asked for his protection. She hid him in a cave on Crete where he was raised by a goat named Amalthea. When he was an adult, he returned to his father and used a mixture to have him throw up his siblings: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades & Poseidon, all full-grown by this point. They took up home on Mt. Olympus and waged the 10-year long Titanomachy. Not all of the Titans stood by Cronus. Tethys, for example, helped Zeus. After 10-years of fighting, Zeus' uncles, the Cyclopses, made him his legendary thunderbolt which he used to free his other uncles, the Hecatonchires, from the depths of Tartarus. Using their 100 hands each (there were 3 of them), the Hecatonchires launched massive boulders at the Titans and sent them down into the depths of Tartarus, where they remained for a long time until Zeus released them. But at that point he had long been king of the gods and they settled in the background of Greek Mythology and were never really heard from again. </span>
Answer: Here is the poem.
They had just finished singing it for the third time when Squealer, attended by two dogs, approached them with the air of having something important to say. He announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, "Beasts of England" had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it. The animals were taken aback. "Why?" cried Muriel. "It's no longer needed, comrade," said Squealer stiffly. "'Beasts of England' was the song of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion is now completed. The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act. The enemy both external and internal has been defeated. In 'Beasts of England' we expressed our longing for a better society in days to come. But that society has now been established. Clearly this song has no longer any purpose." Frightened though they were, some of the animals might possibly have protested, but at this moment the sheep set up their usual bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad," which went on for several minutes and put an end to the discussion. So "Beasts of England" was heard no more. In its place Minimus, the poet, had composed another song which began: Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm! and this was sung every Sunday morning after the hoisting of the flag. But somehow neither the words nor the tune ever seemed to the animals to come up to "Beasts of England
