Osiris-Antinous
deity Greek single tradition · 1
Osiris-Antinous was the primary deity of Antinoöpolis. Hadrian permitted Greeks and Egyptians in the city to marry and allowed the main deity of Hir-we, Bes, to continue to be worshipped in Antinoöpolis alongside Osiris-Antinous. A relatively realistic funeral tondo painted on wood depicts a representation of Antinous-Osiris, the only pictorial representation that has survived of a statue of the deified young man.
