Ozymandias Quick Context Ozymandias is a sonnet written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1817. It is based on an Egyptian Pharaoh called Ramesses II This Pharaoh was a hugely powerful tyrant and ordered a statue of himself to be made. On this statue he had the words inscribed ‘My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ (closely translated). He believed himself to be god-like and indestructible. But as we know, time is more powerful than even the strongest man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oIsYQiomqw Pride comes before a fall…

Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: `My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away".
