    Definition

    • Gbekó was a kingdom that was thought to be invincible (like some Americans think of the U.S. today.) The Dahomeans, however, defeated its forces.
    • This is an excerpt from a Dahomean burial song of King Agongolo:

    He who has money
    And hoards all for the future
    Of him I do not think well.
    Remember that Gbekó, too, was destroyed.
