To the Greeks, love was bound to intentionality and a priori in their purpose was finding the good to do in life, and doing it. The idea of "excellence" to the Greek, was more than philosophical, it was fundamentally structured within the ethos of their society.
Love, in the Greek mind was not purely the expression of the senses or emotion. Those were seen for what they in fact truly are in nature, a perception of well being that comes from well doing! The Greeks perceived that "love" is more about, what I do than what I feel. Moreover, what I feel is an outcome of what I do. It's not difficult then to understand why the Greek word for love is multifaceted.. To a Greek, the word could be used to relate 3 fundamental ideas of their intentionality :
(érÅs) A love that relates the idea of physicality, passion and sexuality.
(philÃa) A love that relates the idea of the familial
(agápē) A love that is deeply devotional, loyal, and seeks nothing of itself
It is the highest expression of love for a Greek, a love that is unrelenting
it cannot-will not fail even at the expense of his own life.
The Greeks lived purposefully, and gave themselves to excellence in whatsoever they put their hands to... It formed their intentionality and governed their every step in live.
