''Eros'' (''érōs'') is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Greek word ''erota'' means ''in love''. [[Plato]] refined his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the [[beauty]] within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Eros helps the soul recall [[knowledge]] of beauty and contributes to an understanding of [[spiritual]] [[truth]]. Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. Some translations list it as "love of the body."
