What may be a rational banquet.?
It seems to me that a beginning of an answer may be found in this cite of
Clement of Alexandria:
in PR0TREPTIKOS PROS ELLHNAS I 10.2-3: where  he speakS, not about AGAPH but
about QURAI:(TWN OURANWN)

"""EGW EIMI H QURA""(...) HN EKMAQEIN DEI NOHSAI QELHSASI TON QEON,
OPWS HMIN AQROAS TWN OURANWN ANAPETASHi PULAS:
LOGIKAI GAR  AI  TOU  LOGOU  PULAI ,PISTEWS ANOIGNUMENAI KLEIDI;

Ph.Gosse-Gardet
