Did Ramses say my name is ozymandias king of kings?

Answer 1

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
