Hellenism is the blend of Greek culture after Alexander the Great died. Alexander killed all men of the lands he conquered, which spreaded Greek culture with other cultures. Alexander decides to leave soldiers for women of that land, and their babies end out to have Greek blood.

Greece became the largest super power of it's time. He expanded Hellenization throughout the known world.
It is the term that Greeks use for themselves. Greek is a name invented by the Romans. We say Greek, they say Hellenic.
The Hellenizing process was the spread of Greek culture, language, and customs to non-Greek regions under Alexander the Great and his successors. Hellenization began with Alexander's conquests in the 4th century BCE, as Greek influence expanded through trade, colonization, and the founding of Greek cities in new territories.
There were some among the Greeks who resented the influx of non-Greek elements into Greek culture (Hellenization was not a one-way street). This created some degree of conflict among the Greeks themselves (Professor Peter Green, in "Alexander to Actium").The native Greeks often considered themselves superior to others, whom they sometimes persecuted or subjected to discrimination (ibid).The Greeks brought their pantheon and their legal code to the lands which they colonized, including whatever excesses that these contained.To those peoples who had been steadfastly religious, the Greek concepts of agnosticism (from the Sophists) and materialism (from the Epicurians) were now introduced.Some of the ancients viewed Hellenization as a decline and as a reduction in freedom and excellence (Herodotus, quoted in T. Holland's "Persian Fire").
