Answer 2

Answer:

Literary allusion.

Explanation:

An allusion is an implied or direct reference to an event or person. And when we say literary allusion, that means a reference to any literary text or work.

The given lines from Antony's speech after the death of Caesar were used by the heavy metal band. And in using the same phrase as their song's title, Iron Maiden's reference to the line is taken from Shakespeare's play, thus referencing a literary work of Shakespeare.

Thus, the correct answer is a literary allusion.
