Ancient
Antinous Documents
Tertullian
Against Marcion, Book I
"Although man's littleness has been
able, according to experiments all over the world, more easily to fashion
for itself gods, than to follow the true God whom men now understand by
nature. As for the rest, if man shall be thus able to devise a god,--as
Romulus did Consus, and Tatius Cloacina, and Hostilius Fear, and Metellus
Alburnus, and a certain authority some time since Antinous,--the same
accomplishment may be allowed to others."
