Are you retarded?

Fuck you're a retardo

>>1443238
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.

>>1443556
No, you are, because you don't know what "pronunciation" means.

>>1443549
'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)?

>>1443571
>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.

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