Eros has also been used in philosophy and psychology in a much wider sense, almost as an equivalent to 'life energy'.
Eros (/ ˈ ɪər ɒ s /, US: / ˈ ɛr ɒ s, i r ɒ s,-oʊ s / from Ancient Greek ἔρως (érōs) 'love, desire') is a concept in ancient Greek philosophy referring to sensual or passionate love, from which the term erotic is derived.
