Antinoo rappresenta un tema caro alla let­teratura archeologica, anche recente, a causa del ruolo che il giovane riveste per Adriano, ma anche per la fascinazione che la sua bellez­za continua a esercitare. La parabola dei suoi ritratti ne riflette una di natura ideologica più complessa, che si può leggere come una vera e propria elaborazione dell’iconografia, cui co­rrisponde la progressiva costruzione del cul­to del Bitinico. Il presente articolo analizzerà contemporaneamente le informazioni offerte dalle fonti storiche su Adriano, quelle ricava­te dai testi geroglifici dell’obelisco del Pincio a Roma e le testimonianze poetiche trádite, sullo sfondo dell’ordinamento della città di Antinoupolis, attraverso le quali si narra parte del mito della morte e della successiva diviniz­zazione del giovane Antinoo.Abstract: Antinous is a subject loved by the archae­ological literature, even recent, due to the role that the young man plays for Hadrian, but also for the continuous fascination that his beauty inspires. The series of portraits reflects a sequence of a more complex ide­ological nature, which can be read as a true elaboration of iconography, corresponding to the progressive construction of the cult of the young Bitinic. The article will analyze the informations provided by the historical sources on Hadrian, by the hieroglyphic texts of the Pincius’ obelisk in Rome and the poetic texts preserved, looking at the background of the organization of the city of Antinoupolis, through which part of the myth of death and the subsequent deifica­tion of the young Antinous is told.Parole chiave: Antinoo, Egitto, imperatore Adriano, POxy 4352, ritratti.Key words: Antinous, Egypt, emperor Hadrian, POxy 4352, portraits
