Greek words for love

The Greek gods were very important in Ancient Greece. I chose to write about who I think are the three most important gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, their wives Hera and Persephone (sans Poseidon’s wife), and Mount Olympus, their meeting place.

The Concept of Love The term “love” has a wide variety of meanings, each different than the rest. To some, love may simply mean having an attachment or desire to be with another; to others, love may feel like a complete entity that envelops you once you have found “the one.” However, to the Greeks, love could actually be categorized into three different classes: eros, agape, and phileo.
