'''Hellenic''' is an aesthetic based on Greek mythology and the word Hellenic itself. Hellenic is a word to describe the people, language, and culture of ancient Greece. The aesthetic itself may not have a huge following, but Tumblr and Pinterest have a huge following for Greek mythology, and do many things that this aesthetic include. It is clear they would take part in this aesthetic once they know it's existence. The Percy Jackson fandom who identifies as half-bloods sorted in the cabin of their "god parent" would also fit in this aesthetic perfectly.

The aesthetic would be having a great love, respect, or interest in Greek myth/Hellenic that effects your wardrobe or way of life. It is like [[Cottagecore]] and [[Dark Academia]] in the way that the aesthetic has a style, activities, lifestyle, beliefs, and more that is based on a subject or theme. Though it may be different for people, some may only do some few things, while others may completely stylize their life on the aesthetic.
