Antinous/Osiris - Room III of the Gregorian Egyptian Museum
From Tivoli, Hadrian's Villa, Pecile (1736 excavations)
Period of Hadrian131-138 AD
White marble, height 241 cm.
Statue of the divinity Antinous/Osiris in white marble, signifying Upper Egypt. The statues of the Serapeum of the Canopus demonstrate how the emperor Hadrian had deified his favourite Antinous, who drowned precisely in the canal called the Canopus which linked Alexandria to the main branch of the Nile, through his assimilation with Osiris, the god who dies and is reborn, in his turn already associated by the Ptolomies with Serapis, Alexandrian divinity of salvation.

Divinity
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
pinch salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecans, chopped
Combine sugar, water, salt, and corn syrup in a 3-quart saucepan; cook over medium heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (260 degrees F, 125 C). It will be boiling rapidly for about ten minutes to reach this temperature (Time depends on the BTU output of your stove). Remove from heat.
Beat egg whites (at room temperature) in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Pour hot sugar mixture in a very thin stream over egg whites while beating constantly at high speed of an electric mixer. Add vanilla, and continue beating just until mixture begins to hold its shape (3 minutes). Stir in pecans and spread on foil that's been stuck to the counter with a bit of water underneath. Let cool 1 hour and slice into squares with a butter knife. Let sit overnight and transfer to wax paper lined air-tight tins in the morning.
i walk the earth
1 of billions of mortal gods
creating eternal consequence
while black holes grow
predators prey
saints pray
and children play

The obligatory tourist photo of Divinity Schools, taken at the start of a tour of the Bodleian (sadly, no photos allowed inside Duke Humfrey's library inside, which is definitely the coolest bit).
I last visited Oxford about 15 years ago so it was definitely time to go back. I lucked out with the weather - it was a gorgeous day in mid-May 2022, actually too bright at first. I tried to check out as many attractions as possible but trying to navigate admission policies was a nightmare - some places required buying tickets a day in advance and others were closed even though they said they were open. One security guard told me "It's Oxford, things are different here". That is true. Next time I'll stay a few days.
I misplaced my notes, so if you know the names of any of the building, feel free to help me. Thanks.
