One thing I really enjoy is greek mythology, and another thing I'm really passionate about it love, because I believe that it can heal anything. There are four meanings for the world love in greek, and I know that most people don't know that, so today I'm gonna share those four meanings.
1) Eros
This one represents more of a sexual love. Eros is the name of the greek god of fertility and he represented the idea of sexual passion. For the greek, this type of love was a mad love, and sort of losing control, which is why it was feared by them. Now-a-days, this love is really common and not feared on much.

2) Philia
This type of love represents friendship. This would be the love you have for your friends, or someone very close to you. Philia could be represented by loyalty or even respect for someone you love.
3) Agape
Agape represents love for all, a sort of charity love. This was translated for all people, for family, friends, and even strangers. It is used on more of an everyday basis.
4) Storge
This love is more for a family love, the kind of love you have for your parents and they have for you or the kind of love you have for your pets. Storge has a more united meaning, you probably storge someone who you have constant direct contact.
