Ah yes, Greek Historians...did they ever get anything right? And that's Ramesses the
Great, mind you. But the Greeks seemed to have this annoying habit of changing just about everything in the retelling, one of the reasons nobody can find Atlantis -- well, except for a few of us. One of the things oz always found amusing about the Romans -- "wow, you Greeks have great Gods and Goddesses, we think we'll steal them. But we'll have to change a few minor things, I mean the names positively suck!" Oz had given up the King of King business at one point, but as anyone can see, he's back in action and going strong now. The statue bit was just a cover. It's so much easier to go out in public when people can't
really be sure yer the KoK. "Is that?...no, couldn't be..." Cut's down on the mobbing and mindless sycophancy -- sure it's nice sometimes, but a real drag in the ordinary course of affairs.
Hmm...Alexander the Great. Now
he had some ego. "Well, here I am, let's found a city. We'll call it....Alexandria, nice ring don't you think?" 100 miles down the river/desert track/jungle path..."Well, here I am, let's found a city. We'll call it....Alexandria, nice ring don't you think?" Soon, there were little Alexandria's all over Africa, Asia Minor, and India. Ozwonders if they had little numbers after their names, or you might find one with a sign outside "Alexandria, Pop 3000 -- We were first, dammit!". Chambers of Commerce would set up sister cities with other Alexandrias.
And now that you mention it, oz DID completely munge 1st/3rd person, except for backwards from the usual way. Oops.
