• Peace means something different from ‘not fighting’. Those aren’t peace advocates, they’re ‘stop fighting’ advocates. Peace is an active and complex thing and sometimes fighting is part of what it takes to get it. Jo Walton

Antinoan Poetry

By wyfwolf, on November 5th, 2016

Was talking with some mates about the cultus of Antinous last night and got some interesting pinging, which led to this.

I know you
Who drowned in troubles
So far from a home
You lost long ago

I know you
Who gave your youth away
To a power
You could not resist

I know you
Whose face is everywhere
But whose heart
Is never revealed

I know you
Who people envy
Without seeing
That you asked for nothing

I know you
Caged in a shrine
Because he would not
Let you go

I know you
All of you
And I say
You can be free
