A figurative language device that means a biblical, mythological, or

historical reference in a work of literature is: an allusion.

In English literature, a figurative language also known as a figure of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by an author, writer, or speaker, so as to create a special effect in a literary work (write-up) or speech.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work (write-up) or speech. Allusion is an example of a figurative language.

Allusion can be defined as a reference in a text to a well known text, person, event, or thing. Thus, allusion avails an author the opportunity to compress or embed a great deal of meaningful and significant information into a phrase or word.
