Grecian
Like ancient Athens
Grecian means Greek, especially in reference to ancient Greece or classical Greek aesthetics.
The word appears more often in artistic and architectural contexts than in everyday speech: a Grecian urn, Grecian columns, Grecian profile.
Grecian suggests elegance and classical ideals of beauty in a way that the plainer Greek does not.
