MEDITATIONS ON THE HEART OF ANTINOUS
(FOURTH INSTALLMENT)

By Priest Michaelus Isom



TODAY'S installment on the Heart of Antinous is DUTY. 

One of the definitions of duty is a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility. 

I think as Antinous grew older and the relationship between him and Hadrian also grew Antinous realized he had a duty or obligation to perform. 

There is nothing written that because of the relationship he had with Hadrian that Antinous took advantage of it. He did not seek to use his position for any personal gain.

Antinous knew the duty or responsibility he had. He was just a boy from a Roman colony, possibly from a family of no means.

Antinous did realize that his duty was to love the Emperor Hadrian with all his heart.

And this is the greatest example of DUTY that Antinous gives us is the DUTY OF LOVE.

If you claim to be a follower of Antinous then your responsibility, your obligation, your responsibility is to Love as Antinous loved Hadrian.

This is but one aspect of  HOMOTHEOSIS: Gay-Man-Godliness-Becoming-The-Same.

AVE ANTINOUS!
PRIEST MICHAELUS
