Hellenic
Of ancient Greece
Hellenic means Greek—relating to Greece, its people, language, or culture.
The term often carries classical or scholarly connotations, evoking ancient Greece rather than the modern nation: Hellenic philosophy, Hellenic art.
Academic departments studying ancient Greek civilization are typically called Hellenic or Hellenistic studies.
The word derives from Hellas, the Greek name for Greece.
