May Nazi sod corrupt conceited king? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ozymandias

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conceited king?' is the definition.
'ozymandias' can be an answer for 'king?' (I have seen 'Old king' mean 'ozymandias' so perhaps 'king' could also mean 'ozymandias'). I am not sure about the 'conceited' bit.

'may nazi sod corrupt' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' indicates anagramming the letters (a corrupted spelling of the word).
'may'+'nazi'+'sod'='maynazisod'
'maynazisod' with letters rearranged gives 'OZYMANDIAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ozymandias that I've seen before include "My name is -, king of kings (Shelley)" , "Old king" , "Shelley's "king of kings"" , "Egyptian king" , "Shelley 24" .)
