There are more surviving images of Antinous than of any other Roman. Hadrian was Extra As Fuck. Can you imagine how many statues of Antinous he commissioned? Get you a man that does That.
And then 1500 years later Victor Hugo came along and was like “Enjolras was Grantaire’s Antinous” and people still be like “they’re friends!” Bitch, Hadrian did not have hundreds of sculptors carving Antinous’ beautiful calves for you to be spreading these lies.
