[The following Appendix has already appeared as an article in the Journal of Philology, Vol. 1 No. 1 (1868), pp. 88—93. s.]
There are four terms in Greek which represent different states or degrees of affection, fondness, liking, love, in its most general acceptation. Of these στοργή and ἔρως are co-ordinate terms, in this respect, that they both designate what Aristotle calls πάθη, instinctive affections, implanted in sentient beings by nature.
