You forgot erotic love, which was one of the four Greek classifications.
Personally, I always found the Greek system stiflingly arbitrary and
somewhat incomplete. It makes no provision, for example, for love
for one's self, which is a very different animal from the ones you
named, and it doesn't really distinguish between different types of
"love from afar" (love of all mankind is a very different animal from
love for one's flag or love of one's personal diety). I tend toward
the view that there are at least as many different types of love as
there are people.
