SEPTEMBER 22nd is Hobbit Day in reference to its being the birthday of the hobbits Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, two fictional characters in J. R. R. Tolkien's popular set of books "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings."
Bilbo was born in the year of 2890 and Frodo in the year of 2968 in the Third Age (1290 and 1368 respectively in Shire-Reckoning.)
Miranda Baggins, one of our artistic social-media followers, sees parallels to Antinous!
"I think Frodo from 'The Lord of Rings Trilogy' has such a great resemblance to Antinous ... his trial with the Evil One Ring is particularly fitting for the Eleusinian mysteries. I've placed him and Antinous side by side ... complete with black roses and pomegranates!"
Thank you, Miranda for this inspired fan art!
