Ἀντίνοος · an-TIN-oh-us
Suitor in Homer’s Odyssey — not Hadrian’s Antinous.
Edges on this card. The visit is the book.
Antinous, son of Eupeithes, said, “The gods seem to have given you lessons in bluster and tall talking; may Jove never grant you to be chief in Ithaca as your father was before you.” Book 1
The first suitor voice in the hall is mockery, not welcome.

Leader among the suitors
Speaks for the mass that fills the hall and presses the house. In Book I he answers Telemachus with insolence; later he throws a stool at the beggar and is first to fall when Odysseus strings the bow.

Ἀντίνοος · an-TIN-oh-us
Leader among the suitors
Homeric suitor of Penelope, not Hadrian’s Antinous. Identity lock: late-twenties Greek noble, short trimmed beard, oiled dark hair, wine-dark rust chiton, gold ivy-leaf fibula on his left shoulder, gold spiral armband on his left upper arm, gold rings, bronze kylix gripped in his right hand. Card art is hall/torch cinematic; turnaround kit is indigo studio void. Related: Telemachus, Penelope, Eurymachus.
Telemachus, the gods themselves are teaching you to be a bold talker — so Antinous answered in the hall, while the suitors kept eating the house.
