The Speech Of Pausanais
Pausanias distinguishing two types of Love:
Common Love: physical and fleeting type of love, often driven by desire and is associated with temporary attractions and physical pleasure.
Heavenly Love: This is the more intellectual and enduring form of love, which is focused on the mind and soul. It involves a deeper connection and is characterized by mutual respect and the pursuit of intellectual and moral development.
Pausanias argues that while Common Love is important, it is Heavenly Love that should be celebrated and aspired to, as it leads to a more virtuous and fulfilling relationship.
