He catches the eye of Hadrian, who falls in love with him and frees him. The two men become lovers, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that Antinous is a Greek and Hadrian is a Roman. The play also explores the political and social tensions between Greece and Rome.As the play progresses, Antinous becomes increasingly unhappy in Rome and longs to return to Greece.
