    Isn’t it supposed to be love rather than just friendship?

      Éros (ἔρως, érōs) means “love, mostly of the sexual passion”.[6] The Modern Greek word “erotas” means “intimate 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 and may ultimately transcend particulars to become an appreciation of beauty itself, hence the concept of platonic love to mean “without physical attraction”.
