All this* fits in well with Joseph Campbells’ offering on BBC2 [TV] this evening,** on the subject to the Goddess, and Love (although I confess that the ultra-serious-minded tone of American delivery, to which I am unaccustomed, tends to send me to sleep).

I do not (unlike Campbell, I think) equate ἐρως, erotic love, with lust. And it may be that ἀγαπη and ϕιλια as the Greeks meant them are reversed here. The English description*** is the significant one in each case.
