Answer:
One example of a literary allusion to King Solomon can be found in the work of William Shakespeare. In his play "Othello," there is a reference to King Solomon when Othello, the Moorish general, speaks about his marriage to Desdemona. He uses an allusion to King Solomon's wisdom to describe how he won her over:
"Perdition catch my soul,
But I do love thee! and when I love thee not,
Chaos is come again."
This reference to "perdition" and "Chaos is come again" alludes to the idea that Othello's love for Desdemona is so strong that it transcends reason and wisdom, similar to the legendary wisdom of King Solomon.
This allusion serves to highlight the intensity of Othello's feelings for Desdemona and foreshadows the tragic events that unfold in the play. King Solomon is often alluded to in literature as a symbol of wisdom and judgment.
