The literary device used by the author in this passage is Allusion.

Allusion is used to make an indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea that has a historical or cultural significance. It does not make a precise description of the person or thing but it is expected that the reader possesses the sufficient knowledge to understand the importance of this reference.
