The end
The word Eros was added to the tittle because this is there level of love for eachother in this chapter
there are 3 levels you'll be taught about soonEros is the type of love that most closely resembles what Western cultures now view as romantic love. The word stems from the Greek word erotas, which translates to "intimate love."
Some scholars believe that eros also represented sexual chemistry and desire, but others claim that the word "intimate" didn't have the same connotation in Ancient Greece as it does today.
Either way, eros wasn't necessarily viewed in a positive light. (Much like we view infatuation or lust today.) Many Greeks viewed eros as dangerous due to the loss of control that occurs when someone is struck by this kind of love. And yes, I said struck because Eros is found in Greek Mythology as being brought on by cupid's arrow. For example, Paris falling in love with Helen and leading to the downfall of Troy.
Plato, on the other hand, looked at eros more abstractly, believing it to be our natural desire to seek true beauty. He wrote that, "He who loves the beautiful is called a lover because he partakes of it."
