What form of death has been suggested for Antinous other than accidental drowning?

  • Natural Causes

  • Human Sacrifice

  • Heart Attack

  • Battle Wound

Answer

In addition to accidental drowning, human sacrifice has been suggested as a possible cause of Antinous' death. This theory is based on the fact that the ancient Greeks sometimes sacrificed young men to the gods, and on the similarities between Antinous' death and the deaths of other figures who were thought to have been sacrificed.
