The accused’s fate would be decided in the king’s arena;the arena well deserved its name

from the book: "The Lady, or the Tiger" by Frank R. Stockton

Explanation:

The original paragraph in the book where we get this quote reads;

"When a subject was accused of a crime of sufficient importance to interest the king, public notice was given that on an appointed day the fate of the accused person would be decided in the king's arena, a structure which well deserved its name, for, although its form and plan were borrowed from afar, its purpose emanated solely from the brain of this man, who, every barleycorn a king, knew no tradition to which he owed more allegiance than pleased his fancy, and who ingrafted on every adopted form of human thought and action the rich growth of his barbaric idealism."

"facing the rising sun of our new day begun

let us march on till victory is won.",

because the rising sun is a symbol of hope.

an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.
