What is the difference between "Grecian", and "Hellenic"?

hellenic, refers to culture, ancient greece.

greek, refers to coming from greece.

>greek

Read again; I posted "Grecian", not "Greek".

They're synonimous dude.

No, they are not.

Please, only literate answers in this thread.

...

???

The irony.

Yeah, they are. Simply two pronunciations of the same Latin word 'Graecus'.

Are you retarded?

Fuck you're a retardo

Grecian is from "graecus" as someone pointed out before; but in Latin, the word is derogative and is often synonym with "degenerate" or "idle thinker".

Hellenic comes from Greek Ἑλλοί and refers, today, to the post-alexandrine world. At the time, it would have meant anyone speaking Greek.

No, you are, because you don't know what "pronunciation" means.

'Greek' and 'Graecus', you tit.

When to use "Grecian", and when to use "Hellenic" (excluding the very narrow usage referring to late fourth century BCE onwards)?

>Ἑλλοί

More like 'Ελλας,(pronounced Hellas) which is what the Ancients called it. Modern Greeks also call it that, but they use the accusative case usually which is 'Ελλαδα.

>tfw the Führer will never caress my face like that
Why go on?

Hellas is the land, Helloi the inhabitants.

I know that feel

Successor Kingdoms were Hellenic because they bred Medi culture, normal greek city states and their culture would be Grecian/Greek.

No you are because you're a retardo
