The Worship of Antinous, Inscriptiones Latinae Orelli 823
Antinoo et
Beleno par aetas formaque par est;
Cur non Antinous
sit quoque qui Belenus.[Inscr.
Orell.823]
Antinous and Belenus* are equal in age and beauty,
So why can’t Antinous also be like Belenus [i.e., a god?]
*Belenus was the name of an Italian god of light and healing, usually associated with Apollo
