That the city is so afflicted by the pestilence that her head cannot be raised is an example of personification in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the term personification describes an animal, idea or object in terms of human qualities. The description fits the words of the priest of Zeus in the prologue. The priest notes that "...our city...is badly shaken--she cannot raise her head."
