Hellenism
The terms Hellenism, Hellenist, Hellenistic, were originally used, from about the 16th century, to refer to Greek-speaking Jews, as opposed to Hebrew-speaking Jews.The words later became used to denote the later Greek age, i.e. the period after Alexander the GreatJ. G. Droysen (1883) used Hellenism to mean the civilization of the Greek-speaking world after Alexander, but his definition of the period ranged up to the time of Jesus, or up to the Arab invasions. Droysen also took the word to apply to other cultures as well as the Jews. [Droysen Geschichte Alexanders des Grossen 1883]
