trickykittyI could go look it up, but it's too early and I need to get ready for work.
Is it possible the Wizard of Oz was named after Ozymandias, foretelling the fall of the great Oz?
I'd heard the name Ozymandias before, but it's come up a few times in references quite recently (this past week*), so I finally went and looked it up, which naturally got me thinking of the Wizard of Oz.
* In which we could talk about coincidence, but I'm sure it's because it's in some form of mainstream media right now, so people are being more perceptive to its use and in turn are using it more themselves, including me, here, propagating it yet again. For my part, xkcd named its most recent comic after it, but I know I heard it somewhere else quite recently as well.
IE - it's probably "trending" in certain circles
