A passing or casual reference to something else, an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication.
A film may make allusions to other films, to well-known literary characters or plots, to popular culture, to history, to the director's own life, and so on. For example, Woody Allen's films are full of allusions to his own career and personal life, as well as his literary and other intellectual interests. The title of his film Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) appears to be a literary allusion to a well-known series of four novels by the German writer Thomas Mann called Joseph and His Brothers (1930s-1940s), based on the biblical story of Joseph. In Woody Allen's film, the character Hannah is the "good sister' who redeems the other sisters, just as the biblical Joseph was the good brother who redeemed his brothers.

In Greek mythology, Poseidon, the god of the sea, was Zeus's brother. An 'allusion' is a reference to something else.
