Re: Greek words for love? Word definitions? And related stuff

[(Anonymous)]

I *think* Greeks lumped non-sexual-but-romantic-ish feelings in with non-romantic feelings (philia/agape). They didn't have as much of a tendency as we do to conflate certain feelings (that we would describe as romantic) with sex or assume that certain feelings MUST go hand-in-hand with sexual desire if you have any sex drive at all. So I don't think they drew a line between platonic feelings and all feelings that we would describe as romantic, but, rather, between platonic feelings and sexual-romantic feelings.

I was thinking that philia and agape were more about family/friends and religion so that confused me, but it's sounding like what we consider romantic today isn't a concept that they really had back then.

So I don't think they drew a line between platonic feelings and all feelings that we would describe as romantic, but, rather, between platonic feelings and sexual-romantic feelings.

That totally makes sense! It sounds like there wasn't a word back then for what I'm thinking of, which I guess shouldn't surprise me since it seems like a fairly new concept. Thanks!

ayrt

I think you're correct that philia and agape is *more* about family/friends/religion, but I suppose its not totally clear-cut and categorized -- it's possible to have a deep friendship that contains some "romantic" (at least by our definition) elements or strong romantic parallels without being sexual-romantic or involving any sexual desire/attraction whatsoever.

However, I think the way we define romantic has a lot more to do with cultural cues, like stories and songs, that we tell ourselves about what "romantic" means and what "romantic" is supposed to be combined with, rather than about concrete, distinctly categorizable feelings.
