Antinous (constellation) instance of asterism
Antinous is an obsolete constellation no longer in use by astronomers, having been merged into Aquila, which it bordered to the north.
The constellation was created by the emperor Hadrian in 132. Antinous was a beautiful youth loved by Hadrian, and also his erotic lover. Cassius Dio, having access to Hadrian's diary now lost, informs that Antinous died either by drowning or (as he himself believed) as a voluntary human sacrifice, something supported by Lambert (1984). The elevation to divinity meant that Antinous was to be a god in the heavens forever – Hadrian having named an asterism in the sky after him.
