I'll
nominate Antinous, the emperor Hadrians favorite. Harian considered him
so beautiful that he declared him a god. He ordered that every major
city in the empire put up a temple and a statue to him and decreed that
all male gods should be portrayed as looking like Antinous. That's why
we have so many statues of him all over the world.
I even have a statue of him as a child in my homesite atrium.
