🪷 Art by @idahlart ... Emperor #Hadrian loved #Antinous so much that when he died tragically in the Nile in October 130 AD, he declared #Antinoos a god and founded the city of #Antinoopolis there and erected temples and raised statues to him throughout the Roman Empire. 🪷
🪷 Home alone in Rome: Grief-stricken #Hadrian returns in 131AD to face life without his beloved #Antinous. The Emperor never leaves Rome again. He commissions temples and sculpture throughout the empire for his lost #Antinoos, the last Classical deity: https://t.co/cdoYFaHH7K 🪷
🪷 Why is #Antinous always so sad? He knows the pain of letting go & shares your grief. By sharing our hopes and fears, joys and pains with another person, we accept gifts of wisdom and love from Antinous himself. More: https://t.co/EZ5tvGqGEy #Antinoos art by @MJMcCorkle. 🪷

When you look into the #eyes of a gay person, you see #Antinous looking back at you. #Antinoos is the one who looks out of my eyes and out of your eyes and out of everyone's eyes. He is the beholder and the beheld. He is the same center. #Homotheosis. See: https://t.co/EJdyiI8NvG
