We know that, in ancient Greece there were no categories of sexual preferences as we have them today, like homo-, hetero- or bisexuality. But is there any account or source that speaks of comparable terms? Did at least one of the philosophers speak of a sort of difference of sexual preferences?

The speech of Aristophanes in Plato's Symposium refers to this.

Aristophanes describes people as once being two people in one, the prior form being composed of a man and a woman, two men, or two women. After people were divided by Zeus the halves sought partners like their other halves.
