>[1]The name "Ozymandias" is a rendering in Greek of a part of Ramesses II's throne name, User-maat-re Setep-en-re. The poems paraphrase the inscription on the base of the statue, given by Diodorus Siculus in his Bibliotheca historica as: >>King of Kings am I, Osymandyas. If anyone would know how great I am and where I lie, let him surpass one of my works. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias#Hubris Have we checked the quote? There seems to be just the upper half in the museum but the other half should be lying somewhere. |
