Smith is using the word generically to represent a great and ancient city."Ozymandias" was born in Tortona (Piedmont) on 26th August 1997. ![]() It was one of the great cities of antiquity and at two different periods was the largest city in the world. Ozymandias - Smith initially titled his poem the same as Shelley’s later, he re-titled it “OnĪ Stupendous Leg of Granite, Discovered Standing by Itself in the Deserts of Egypt, with the Inscriptionīabylon - The name of the famous city on the Euphrates River in Mesopotamia. Little of Pi-Ramesses Aa-nakhtu survives, but as you can see in the pictures above, the statue does not actually stand by itself in the desert.

This line is ambiguous Ozymandias could be telling the mighty to despair because their works will never be as good as his or he could be telling them to despair because their works will all eventually crumble just like his. If anyone would know how great I am and where I lie, let him surpass one of my works.” It may also be a literary reference to Diodorus Siculus, an ancient Greek historian (he was from Sicily, which was ethnically and culturally Greek at the time), who wrote in his massive forty-volume Biblioteca Historica that Rameses’ statue bore the inscription “King of Kings am I, Ozymandias.

Rameses was one of the greatest rulers of the ancient world. Ozymandias - A Greek name for the great Egyptian pharaoh Rameses II, also called the Great (c. The lone and level sands stretch far away. Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare ![]() ![]() It was written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1817 and eventually became his most famous work. He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess 'Ozymandias' is one of the most famous poems of the Romantic era. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
