🪷 Antinous lives! At the September #Equinox we recall the initiation of #Antinous into the #Eleusinian Mysteries at #Eleusis, where this life-size statue of him was found. #AntoniusSubia says "This is a perfect example of living Images of Antinous that we see all around us!" 🪷

🪷 How tall was Antinous? Expert @johnjjohnston.bsky.social said he may have been 5' 8" (172 cm) based in part on the #Eleusis statue. The average 2nd Century AD man was 5' 6" (170 cm). So, #Antinous was taller than average. (With Priest #MartinCampbell 6 ft/182 cm.) @martinglasto.bsky.social 🪷

🪷 22 Sept is #HobbitDay: Artist #MirandaBaggins says: "I think #Frodo bears a great resemblance to #Antinous. His trial with the Evil One Ring is particularly fitting for the #Eleusis mysteries. I've placed him and #Antinoos side by side with black roses and pomegranates!" 🪷

Happy Boidromion, dears!
What are your plans for the Greater Eleusinian Mysteries this year?
Mine will be subdued but heartfelt.
