greek words for love types
The Greeks had four words to describe what we call love, Eros, (romantic love), Phileo, (enjoyment, fondness, friendship), Storge (family loyalty) and Agape (unconditional love with stick-ability). Eros-A love felt particularly within the body (trembling excitement, elation, joy), coloured and underpinned by deep and beautiful procreative urges.
Agape is used by Christians to express the unconditional love of God for his children. This type of love was further explained by Thomas Aquinas as to will the good of another.. Ãros (á¼ÏÏÏ Ã©rÅs) means love, mostly of the sexual passion.. The Modern Greek word erotas means intimate love..
