The Love Theme in Ancient Times
In today’s world, love is what every person in a relationship strives for, and finding the right match. In ancient times, we have to look deep into how it was defined in different cultures. In every culture love could mean different things to each culture and individual. We will look deeper into this word we call love within the cultures of Greece, Rome, China, and India.
Love in Greek Times
In Greece, love was free as it could be and there was a sense of inner freedom to express themselves as they saw fit. One such segment of Greek times was homoeroticism. Homoeroticism was a big part of human sexuality. “Greek Love” as it was called was vivid in this era and into the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Love was open and free during Greek times and expressed in their writings, paintings and sculptures.

Love was an open book in regards to homosexuality and heterosexuality. Men and Women alike interacted with each other in freedom and openness without a sense of conditions or restrictions. Love was just another expression within the culture itself represented in not only in public, but also in its representation through art, writing, and also philosophy.
Ancient Times and Love in China
China in the ancient times also was known to have emperors as well as men who had homosexual and heterosexual relations. During the Qing Dynasty, we could see paintings and writing of expressions of love between men.

    In Plato’s Symposium each philosopher shared a different version of love when they gave their speech. First of all, Phaedrus expressed that love was the oldest of all gods and the one that does the most to promote virtue in people. Second, the strangest speech of the night came from Aristophanes; he expressed love in the form of a mythical story. Here is a quote from part of Aristophanes speech on his version of love, “We are twice the people we are now, and the gods were jealous, Zeus decided to cut us in half to reduce our power, and ever since we had been running all over the earth trying to rejoin with our other half. When we do, we cling to that other half with all our might, and we call this love.” (Aristophanes…

    Diotima provided a mythology of Love’s birth as a way of introduction. Love is not himself a god, as the previous speakers assumed, but a spirit that serves as an emissary between human beings and the divine. He is the child of Poverty and Plenty and partakes in characteristics of both, always bountiful in his energies but wanting in substance. The figure of the god is not dainty or beautiful, but rough. He desires what is beautiful and very much unlike himself. These rich metaphors lay the groundwork for Plato’s philosophical project in the next few pages. They help to make sense of the fact that the erotic drive, which seems rough, messy and exceedingly human, can at the same time touch upon the divine. Love is a desire that, when properly focused, can act as a bridge between human beings and the…

    Marrying for Love

    Coontz’ article explains that as far back as the 1100s love was not present at the start of a marriage; it was either factored in or developed afterwards. In the thirteenth century, adultery was widely accepted as a form of love which is very different from today’s world. In the 1500s and 1600s, marriages were arranged by parents and if their “loyalty was not paramount…they were sometimes beaten” (Coontz 383). During the 1700s thru the late 1800s sexual loyalty was not even considered important; in fact many cultures have allowed mates to seek sexual gratification outside of marriage. It was not until recently in the late 1900s that people began to marry because of their love for each other. Coontz shows the comparisons of different cultures and their reasons to marry.…

    Aristophanes Views on Love

    • 1152 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Aristophanes thinks that a human's love is clearly "a lack" – a lack of one's other half- and having no meant to satisfy themselves they begin to die. Zeus, having failed to foresee this difficulty repairs the damage by inventing sexual reproduction (191 b-c). Any "embracements" of men with men or of women with women would of course be sterile – though the participants would at least "have some satiety of their union and a relief," (191 c) and therefore would be able to carry on the work of the world. Sex, therefore, is at this stage a drive, and the object is defined only as human. Sexual preferences are to emerge only as the human gains experience, enabling them to discover what their "original form" had been.…

    Over the semester we have discussed many different topics in accordance with the readings. One of the major themes mentioned is the ambiguity of love. This theme is seen in “The Epic of Gilgamesh”. The Epic expresses the Sumerian values but also universal themes such as friendship, love between two people, and familial respect. Feelings for one's family, hometown, people, and generally any emotion that is so strong it makes a person sacrifice himself for somebody are associated with the word love. We see this kind of love in the epic between Gilgamesh and Enkidu. However, there are other scenrios in the book where the definition of love is questioned. The Epic of Gilgamesh shows two different ideas of love from the interactions between Gilgamesh, Enkidu, Ishtar and Shamhat.…

    In Plato’s symposium, the characters all give their own praise of the god of Love, and each has their own unique viewpoint. Phaedrus believes that Love is an old god who promotes virtue in people, whereas Pausanias believes that Love is two gods, Common Love and Heavenly Love who are both objects of simple and sexual desire, respectively. The entire night is spent drinking and discussing what Love really is, ending with Alcibiades trying to seduce Socrates but never succeeding. Socrates claims he cannot be seduced because he is more focused on finding wisdom, which is also the reason that after drinking all night he is neither drunk nor hung over. All of the men focused on what love is and drank all night to enjoy themselves, and in the process forgot that their own wisdom could help them to find what makes them happy and help them to discover their good life. In pursuing love as the answer to their good life, Socrates’ friends lost their wisdom and passed out drunk while Socrates was sharing his wisdom with them. Because of this, the guests at the dinner party missed out on valuable advice for life and finding their good…

    To understand a word, it should first be realized that, the meaning of a word changes over the decades, and along with it, the context it is used in. So where did the word love originate from?
