Under an Oaktree in Alabama

Glele refereed to as the feared Lion in the Bush is the West African Chiefdom who's Dahomey Warriors have struck fear in the hearts of the Europeans and were responsible for ransacking surroundings villages for captives to enrich his throne. It's this under his shadow I prepare my delivery to the onlookers who attend the play this year. It is my job to be Glele, to display his royalty, strength, intelligence, and authority.
Embark upon a robust journey filled with culture and the power ful history of the Benin rulers.
