ANTINOEIA (ἀντινόεια), annual festivals and quinquennial games, which the Roman emperor Hadrian instituted in honour of his favourite, Antinous, after he was drowned in the Nile, or, according to others, had sacrificed himself for his sovereign, in a fit of religious fanaticism. The festivals were celebrated in Bithynia, and at Mantineia, in which places he was worshipped as a god (Spartian. Hadrian, c14; Dion Cass. LXIX.10; Paus. VIII.9 §4).
