Philia, also called brotherly love, is one of the four ancient Greek words for love. In modern Greek, Philia means friendship; it is a dispassionate virtuous love, includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality and familiarity.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~ William Butler Yeats ~
