What are the figures of speech in ozymandias?
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desart. 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.
Did Ramses say my name is ozymandias king of kings?
No, Ozymandias was the name given to him long after his time by the Greeks. The phase comes from a poem by Shelley: I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, a sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive stamped upon these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias [Ramses], king of kings: Look upon 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
Did pharaoh rames the great hate to have images of himself?
Quite the oposite, he had more statues of himself than any other pharaoh including four giant statues flanking the rock temple at Abu Simbal. As tombs could not be made secure he beleived lots of images of himself garanteed his imortality. In a way he was not wrong! I met a traveler 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 upon 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. Percy Bish Shelley

Why did the Egyptians write on stone?
Stone will last through the test of time far longer than paper (papyrus). even though writing on stone by means of chisel was developed before papyrus and ink was invented, it continued to endure as an art to preserve the granduer on temple walls for instance, and to make sure that important writings and stories and sacred rituals would last for as long as possible.. here is a poem by Percy bysshe Shelley which i admitedly did actually copy and paste as i couldn't remember it all, it is meant to be about ramesses the great and i feel it captures the idea; even stone will decay but it will last longer and be grander than ink on paper... (if im not allowed to do this i apologise) 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.
