Greek Love

The Greeks invented love. Sure the Italians were the first to apply it to the opposite sex, but the Greeks got there first.

They also created a whole bunch of words for love whereas, in English, we really only have the one.

Here are some of the Greek lexicon for love.

Agape which refers to love of God,

Eros is used when Greeks talk about sexual love.

Philia is the love of really thin pastry.

Storge means innocent affection.

Enteuxis is the love of Hasidic pornography.

Aigiplanktos is the fondness for livestock.

Epipla refers to the love of comfortable furnishings.

Apopinô is the love of tasty beverages.

So increase you vocab so it’s not all Greek to you.
