THE SIX DIFFERT TYPES OF LOVE

  





What is love? There is no simple answer to this question and this is why ancient Greeks had six different words to describe them that could change one's life.

Ancient Greeks were sophisticated in the way they talked about love and recognized six different varieties:

1. Eros or sexual love

2. Philia of deep friendship

3. Ludas or playful love

4. Agape or love for everyone 

5. Pragmon or longlasting love

6. Philauiton or loving one's self   


The above still exist today, 2.822 years ago!
