One scrappy poet's words have suggested that
Hadrian prostituted Antinous
to other men for the purpose of watching
his lover being raped in various and
perverted postures.
What a slanderous
falsification of facts: Hadrian and
always barefoot Antinous were fiercely
monogamous, in deep love; Antinous
gave Hadrian more joy than Sabina did.
