“Hellenism” refers to Greek art, culture, literature, Greek spirit, and the way of Greek life. To put it differently, “Hellenism” usually stands for Greek culture.

Broad conception: “Hellenism” was derived from the word “Hellene,” which means Greek. The primitive Greeks called their country “Hellas” and themselves “Hellenes”. “Hellenism” is defined as the lover of Greek art, literature, culture, and way of life. 

According to Shelley, “Keats was a Greek”. Keats loved Greek mythology, and we see its use in his literary works. The Greek spirit came to him through literature, sculpture, and his innate tendency. 

The Greek influence came to him through his reading translation of Greek classics, Lempira’s Classical Dictionary, and Greek sculpture. For this, Keats is rich in possessing the term “Hellenism.” His poems, such as “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and” “Ode to a Nightingale,” are complete with the spirit of “Hellenism.”

To sum up, we may assert that “Hellenism” is used for Greek art, literature, and lifestyle. Moreover, Keats is called a Hellenist.
