	-phile The Greek root "-Phil-" originates from the Greek word meaning "love". For example, Philosophy (along with the Greek root "-soph-" meaning "wisdom") is the study of human customs and the significance of life. One of the most common uses of the root "-phil-" is with philias. A philia is the love or obsession with a particular thing or subject. The suffix -philia is used to specify the love or obsession with something more specific. It is somewhat antonymic to -phobia. Philias can be biological (e. g. Rhizophilia, preference for living on roots), or Chemical (e. g. Chromophilous, materials that stain easily), or can be a hobby/liking (e. g. Icthyophilia, love for fish). ''Philia'' () as a Greek word for love refers to brotherly love, including friendship and affection. This contrasts to the Greek terms Eros, or sexual/romantic love, and agape, or detached, spiritual love. However, English usage differs in some cases from the eytmological use, and several of these words refer i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Phile (politician) Phile ( grc, Φίλη) (c. 50 B.C.) was the first recorded female benefactor and the first female magistrate in the ancient Greek city of Priene. Phile was the daughter of Apollonius and wife of Thessalus, the son of Polydectes. She was honored in a first-century BC public decree for constructing, at her own expense, the city reservoir and aqueduct. Rives writes that the coincidence of Phile’s benefactions and public office suggests that "the increasing importance of wealth in public life, i.e., the ability to fund important public works, may have played a role in overcoming the traditional ineligibility of women for public office." It is likely that she was made a magistrate because she promised to contribute to the public works out of her own private funds. Phile was not the first woman in the Ancient Greek world to hold a public office - an inscription records a woman as archon ''Archon'' ( gr, ἄρχων, árchōn, plural: ἄρχοντες, ''árchontes'') is a ...

	Alexios Philes Alexios Philes ( el, ) was a Byzantine nobleman and general of the 13th century. He was the son of Theodore Philes, governor of Thessalonica and the first prominent member of the Philes family.. Alexios married Maria Palaiologina Kantakouzene, the second daughter of John Kantakouzenos and Irene-Eulogia, the sister of Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos (r. 1259–1282). In 1259, the Byzantine emperor appointed Philes as grand domestic (commander-in-chief of the army) in succession to Alexios Strategopoulos, who had been promoted to ''Caesar'' after his victories against the Despotate of Epirus. In 1262/1263, Philes was dispatched along with the ''parakoimomenos'' John Makrenos to the Morea, in an expedition against the Principality of Achaea headed by the ''sebastokrator'' Constantine Palaiologos. The Byzantine forces were defeated at the Battle of Prinitza, and after the ''sebastokrator'' departed for Constantinople, Philes and Makrenos were left in charge. They too, however, were ...

	Manuel Philes Manuel Philes (c. 1275–1345, gr, Μανουήλ Φιλής), of Ephesus, Byzantine poet. Biography At an early age, he moved to Constantinople, where he was the pupil of Georgius Pachymeres, in whose honour he composed a memorial poem. Philes appears to have travelled extensively, and his writings contain much information concerning the imperial court and distinguished Byzantines. He participated in an embassy to the "Tauroscythians" (Tatars) in 1293 to arrange the marriage of Maria, daughter of Andronikos II Palaiologos, to Toqta, the khan of the Golden Horde. He then was on a mission to recruit Georgian archers in 1305 and 1306. Having offended one of the emperors, probably Andronikos II, by indiscreet remarks published in a chronography, he was briefly thrown into prison and only released after an abject apology. Philes is the counterpart of Theodorus Prodromus in the time of the Comneni; his character, as shown in his poems, is that of a begging poet, always pleading pov ...
