When socrates refers to the twelve labors of hercules and the comedies of aristophanes in the apology, he is employing what literary technique?

a. allusion

b. metaphor

c. rhetoric

d. simile

A. allusion.

An allusion is a figure of speech in which the author references an object, person or event from a different context in an indirect way. It is up to the reader to make the direct connection. Usually, these references are to well-known subjects in order for the reader to be able to decipher them. In this case, the author is referencing both the myths of Hercules and the comedies of Aristophanes. These are topics that would have been well-known by his contemporaries.

sensory details?

so i`m assuming you are writing something from a bats (the animal) point of view. if this is the case, you can use sights, sounds, feelings, and tastes.

and idk what you mean by domain, but all of the sensory details will depend on where the bat is.

a bat doesn't see color very well, so its surroundings will be dulled.

it can hear super well. so maybe it can hear the insects on the ground

feelings. you can imagine how a bat would feel from its perspective. it all depends on where it lives.

maybe it can taste the salt in the air, or smell water, or something. all of these details are completely dependent on where it is located.

hope this .
