but basically I just don’t love the misuse of Eros or the inaccurate “translation” of this concept I to modern western concepts of love. I don’t think that’s a fair or accurate translation.

Sy says Eros translates to modern (Wetsern) romantic love. That’s… not quite right. Sy does acknowledge its not exactly a perfect translation, but I think that doesn’t recognize the degree to which these concepts diverge. I think there’s a LOT More to be said on translating the “four” types of Greek love (6-8 is a better estimate imho, but I get why she went with 4), 1/2
