Eros = “Intimate Love”. In Greek mythology, was the primordial god of sexual love and beauty. He was also worshiped as a fertility deity. His Roman counterpart was Cupid – “desire”. Hesiod makes him a primordial god, while in some myths, he was the son of the deities Aphrodite and Ares.
Eros is one of the four words in Ancient Greek which can be rendered into English as "love". The other three are storge, philia and agape. “Eros” refers to "intimate love" or romantic love. “Storge” to affection or fondness. “Philia” to "brotherly love", or the love between family members or close friends. “Agape” refers to "selfless love", or “charity†as it is translated in the Christian scriptures. The term erotic is derived from eros. Eros has also been used in philosophy and psychology in a wider sense, almost as an equivalent to “life energy”.
In the classical world, the phenomenon of erotic love was generally understood as a kind of madness or, as the Greeks put it, theia mania – “madness from the gods”.
Mirabile Dictu… Beauty it’s a miracle? Not at all, but definitively it’s a treasure. And love is beautiful.
According to the dictionary, Mirabile Dictu is an expression in Latin, “mirabilis” means “wonderful”, while “dictum”, supine of “dico” means “speak” or “tell”. Roughly translated that means “It’s a miracle!”
