Antinous: A Tragedy is a historical fiction novel written by Abbie Carter Goodloe and published in 1891. The story is set in ancient Rome and revolves around the tragic life of Antinous, a young Greek man who becomes the lover of Emperor Hadrian. The novel follows Antinous from his early life in Greece to his arrival in Rome, where he catches the eye of Emperor Hadrian. As their relationship develops, Antinous becomes increasingly conflicted about his role as the emperor's lover and the expectations placed upon him. The novel explores themes of power, love, and sacrifice as Antinous is forced to make difficult decisions about his future. The tragic ending of the novel is based on historical accounts of Antinous' death, which has been the subject of much speculation and debate over the centuries. Overall, Antinous: A Tragedy is a compelling work of historical fiction that offers a unique perspective on one of the most enigmatic figures of ancient Rome. Through Abbie Carter Goodloe's masterful storytelling, readers are transported back in time to witness the tragic tale of Antinous and his ill-fated love affair with Emperor Hadrian.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
