Eros — Greek erotic love

The Greek concept of erotic love encompassed not just sexual desire but passionate, embodied attraction and the vulnerability of wanting someone—a form of love ancient philosophy took seriously as transformative rather than dismissing it as base. Modern culture has narrowed eros into sex and romance, losing the older understanding of it as a force that opens people up and changes them.
