Agape - a Platonic ideal

Browsing for useful stuff on pregnant bloke topics? Here's a stack of links, at http://www.familyrapp.com/homepage.asp?Website=Pregnancy-Information The home page (as of 15 March 2007, at least) has the following:

"The Greeks have a special word for parental love—agape. Plato believed agape to be a divine love. He defined it as unconditional, self-sacrificing, and thoughtful. He also considered it an active love. To Plato, agape was more than a feeling. It was a tangible choice demonstrated with loving behavior. "

How about that for an unexpected gem?
