died very young yes...And emperor Hadrianus felt so sorry about it so he arranges some cults for him. So we can find some place to pray for him at Anatolia,Egypt and also at Greece...

And I must disagree with the idea of Hadrian convincing Antinous to suicide. Hadrian never got over Antinous' death. He still hasn't quite fully recovered...

Agree...It is just a saying...Please correct me if I wrong; I earned that Antinous was living at kzyko0s near to modern city namend as Bursa ( or Bolu )at Anatolia ( a part of modern Turkey ) I never know we had such a handsome boys in our country...lol...

He came from Claudiopolis, in Bythinia, which is in modern day Turkey. I don't know the modern name of it now. Indeed, this place birthed the most beautiful boy of all.

I suppose so...I read the book of Marguerita Yourcenar about emperor Hadrianus and learned what he ( you!) thinks about him...

AdrianosArt In reply to Hermetic-Wings [2012-07-24 03:06:21 +0000 UTC]

He loved him with all of his heart and soul -- with all of his being (and he always will, for it was Antinous' soul he loved, as well as his physical body). You need not read a book to see that, however.

I've never read Memoirs of Hadrian, I've heard that it's very well-written. It's been recommended to me on several occasions.

It is really well written but it seems you have detailed knowledge about them even more tham we can find in that famous book. It was so nice to talk to you my friend. Now I will run after Hadrianus And Antinous around the places I live. Becasue you inspiried me so much...

It was very pleasant to speak with you as well. That will be quite the adventure. You're lucky to live in places where they traveled, and where other wise men and leaders traveled and dwelled as well.

I hesitate to personalize him but I decided to put a note now. He is the boy friend of Emperor Hadrianus.After he drowned at river Nile ( some says that Hardrianus convinced him to suicide) a cult has been establish in the name of your Antinous. This was one of well know sample of Antinous sculptures...
