🪷 9 Oct is the Egyptian Festival commemorating the day when Ra judges the dispute between Seth and #Horus. They are enemies because of Seth's murder of #Osiris, father of Horus. Thus, this is a propitious day for wise judgment in resolving longstanding and very bitter disputes. 🪷

DYK there may be 1,000s of statues of #Antinous? See Sarah Waters, (1995), “‘The Most Famous Fairy in History’: Antinous and Homosexual Fantasy”. Journal of the History of Sexuality, 6(2), 194–230. The number was "vast", many made after #Hadrian's death. HowSexGotScrewedUp.com

🪷 This is a prime example of the #Antinomania fad of the 18th Century when every aristocrat wanted #Antinous sculpture. This fantasy portrait by Pompeo Batoni now in the N.Y. Metropolitan Museum of Art shows an unidentified gentleman with a statuette of #Minerva and the #Albani relief of Antinous.🪷

Following Hadrian @followinghadrian.bsky.social · 1d

Marble bust of Antinous depicted as Dionysus with a bronze vine wreath on his head.
The bust, found at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli, was part of Marquis Giampietro Campana's collection and was regarded as one of his finest sculptures. Emperor Alexander II of Russia bought it in 1861 for the Hermitage.
