On Philia (φιλία philía)
Love and fraternity amongst men is of vital importance to developing healthy masculinity and I would say its even a vital part of mens mental health. Love is the greatest motivator to do what must be done, no matter how difficult the task.
Men of the ancient greek world had a deeper bond than men usually have today. They relied on each other far more than we today rely on other men. For the greeks your brothers in arms were your team, your strength and your insurance. Your future (and family) was tied with theirs.
