Mystery of the Nile: Part 2 Death of Antinous
Antinous became the eromenos until he entered puberty. After that time, if a man wanted to remain in a submissive role it was considered pathetic.
As Antinous approached his 19 birthday, he embarked on a journey down the Nile with Hadrian. Most scholars agree that on this trip Antinous scrificed himself to the Nile. Thereby, like Ganymede, he gained the status of a renown god. Antinous was the last great god to arise from the Roman Empire.
