To better tell a story or emphasize a point, authors sometimes use allusions that involve references to myths, classical, or traditional texts. Mythology, classic literature, and traditional literature are all types of literary genres. Allusions are an important part of understanding literature because they give us a deeper understanding of an author’s message. An author can skillfully draw upon allusions to give a story, poem, play, or other literary form more meaning or to provide clues about an author’s message.

You’re probably familiar with Greek and Roman myths. The Greeks and Romans had many gods and goddesses in common, but the Roman name often differed from the Greek name. Gods and goddesses from Roman and Greek mythology are often alluded to in other pieces of literature. For this reason, it’s nice to know about Roman and Greek mythology as you read more difficult texts in high school.

Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, for example, is chock full of allusions to gods and goddesses. For example, in Act I, Scene 4, Mercutio tells Romeo to “Take Cupid’s wings and fly higher than the average man.” And Romeo responds with “His (meaning Cupid’s) arrow has pierced me too deeply, so I can’t fly high with his cheerful feathers.” In Roman mythology, Cupid is the god of desire, affection, and love. Even though Mercutio has encouraged Romeo to dance like a man in love—like the winged Cupid—Romeo responds that he can't because he’s so much in love that it's weighing him down and making him unhappy.

wel

Answer:

In the order of their occurrence the events are;

<em>i) The Ghana civilization flourished.</em>

<em>ii) Tiles Timbuktu became a center for Islamic scholarship</em>

<em>iii) The Songhai was invaded by Moroccan soldiers.</em>

Explanation:

In the history of West Africa, many major events occurred and kingdoms were born and deposed. The above stated events are briefly summarized.

The Ghana empire was formed during the iron age, at around the 7th century. Ghana was  founded among the Soninke, a Mandé people who lived around the city of Kumbi Saleh. The kingdom was made up of urban dwellers and rural farmers, and Islam was majorly practiced until its end in 1230, when Takrur people in northern Senegal took over the capital.

The Mali Empire began in the 13th century CE, and reached its peak in the 14th century, when the emperor Mansa Musa made his famous hajj to Mecca with 500 slaves, each holding a bar of gold. The subsequent result of the hajj was the invitation of Muslim scholars and architects who came to integrate the Malian kingdom into the Muslim world starting from its capital Timbuktu.

The Songhai kingdom stemmed from what was left of Mali by conquering and capturing Timbuktu in 1468 from the Tuareg. In 1591, Morocco invaded  and defeated the Songhai Empire at the Battle of Tondibi.
