Antinous (circa 110–130 CE), a youth of extraordinary beauty from Bithynia, was the companion of Emperor Hadrian, with whom he formed a deep bond. He died tragically by drowning in the Nile, an event that prompted Hadrian to deify him, establish a cult in his honor, and found the city of Antinopolis. Antinous became a symbol of ideal beauty and immortality, celebrated through statues and monuments that depict him with divine features, blending Greek, Roman, and Egyptian influences.
