Hellenism, interest in, devotion to, and imitation of the culture and ideals of ancient Greece, especially as developed in Athens in the 5th and 4th centuries bc. The term, implying an unrestricted, pagan love of life, is often used in contrast to Hebraism, which implies an austerely moralistic, less sensuous, way of life. See Greek Art and Architecture; Greek Literature.
