- 4184: Ozymandias (1818): An Analysis
- ... in life. The irony in this poem lies in the difference between what Ozymandias intends -- to hold onto the glory of his works after time takes its course with him -- and what actually happens. This great monument's "frown, / And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command" and the inscription on the pedestal are all meant to inspire fear in the viewer. However, natural weathering and (possibly) destruction due to conquest ... The seemingly scattered rhymes, not even consistent in pattern within the poem, could also represent the toppled pieces of the ancient sculpture lying about in disarray. The name "OzymandiasÓ refers to Ramses II (Ramses the Great), third king of the 19th dynasty of Egypt. Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian in the 1st century BC, recorded the name when he made reference to the Ramesseum -- Ramses II's mortuary temple -- as "the ... tell of a pedestal, and it must be assumed that the haughty epitaph was Shelley's addition.
