Sword of Damocles is a pretty generic name for a weapon that can strike from above without warning (i.e. orbital weaponry). It's based on the ancient story of Damocles, who was kinda a jerk. He was trying to make the point that he wasn't just some jerk but he kinda made the exact opposite point.

Anyway, "Sword of Damocles" is a legit mythical reference to a weapon that can strike from above with no warning.
