Fernando Lindez and Antinous / Antinoos (Instagram)

[queerasfact]

Today is the birthday of the Roman Emperor Hadrian, born on 24 January in 76CE. His statue is pictured here (left) beside a statue of his lover, Antinous.

In 130CE, Antinous drowned in the Nile. In his grief, Hadrian named a flower and a star after Antinous, founded the city of Antinoopolis, and made Antinous into a god. So many statues of Antinous were made that he became one of the most commonly depicted people in the Graeco-Roman world.

I was today years old when I realised that Alkinoos (‘mighty mind’) and Antinoos (‘contrary mind’) are Xenia opposites in the Odyssey 😳😳😳

[satyrmagos]

a portrait of Holy Antinoos, the deified lover of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. More myth than fact remains of either his life or his death, but the record is clear that he died while travelling with Hadrian in Egypt and that emperor had him deified, established a hero cult in his name, and named a city after him. The cult never became a major religion, but it was widespread and reasonably popular, and Antinoos became both a religious and literary icon of sexual love between men. I based this image of Antinoos on a Roman statue in the Antinous Mondragone style from the 2nd century CE, reframed in imitation of an ancient coin.

* Made of solid .925 sterling silver or shibuichi (an art metal alloy made of 3:1 copper:silver), yellow brass, or bronze.

* Available as a coin, with an upeye for use as a pendant, or with three jump rings for use in a rosary-style necklace.

Each piece is hand-made to order in my home studio, with unique variations and defects as a result of the fabrication and casting process.

casual episode of "probably everyone except my slow ass realized this immediately" BUT-

grinding on Les Mis rn, and in the scene where Hugo is describing Enjolras, before comparing him to SJ, he compares his looks to Antinous and I'm AMAZED by the resemblance
