Eros and The Modern World

In the ancient world there are two different images that can present God and love God. The first person, as indicated by the statue that was created by the sculptor Praxiteles of BC 400 BC, is a young man with wings and a ring (Fig. 1). Then, the unknown sculptor of the first century BC drew the naughty (Figure 2). The second depiction also had wings but lost the bow. If God Eros is drawn as a child, he is usually with his mother Aphrodite.

Eros is full of passion, full of sensual desires and desires. Of modern Greek as "Erota" means "intimate love", but eroticism is not necessarily sexual. Love can be interpreted not love, but love for the person you love, love for friendship. It also applies to dating relationships and marriages. Plato refined his own definition: love was initially felt by one person through contemplation, but it became aware of the inner beauty of this person and even became the perception of beauty itself . Because Plato does not mention physical attraction as a necessary part of love, the word Platonic is used to mean "there is no physical attraction".

Eros depicts sexy erotic love like love for a lover. This is passionate love, aspiration, and desire. For ancient Greeks, especially Plato, the God of love is to evaluate the beauty of a person, or to evaluate the beauty itself. This is the love you get when you think about your lover, your heartbeat will prevail. In modern Greek, Eros can be translated into "love for the body". When you see someone walking cute, this also might be your "love" or obsession. Finally, Agape is talking about pure love. It is sacrificed and unconditional. It is the closest translation to the word "love" in Greek. This is the love to the man of God and love to explain his creation in ancient Greek. In contrast to the physical appeal implied by contemporary love, this is deep, intimate, selfless love. It's there, it will not be lost. In modern Greek, it can be rephrased as "love for the soul".
