The figure of speech being described here is metaphor. In a metaphor, a word or phrase is used in a way that suggests a comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. It allows the writer or speaker to convey an idea or evoke an image by comparing it to something else. Metaphors often make use of well-known persons, places, events, or literary works to help readers or listeners understand and visualize the intended meaning.
