PANHELLE´NIA
PANHELLE´NIA (
πανελλήνια), a festival, or perhaps rather a panegyris of all the
Greeks, which seems to have been instituted by the Emperor Hadrian, with the
well-meant but impracticable view of reviving a national spirit among the
Greeks. (Philostr.
Vit. Soph. 2.1, 5; Boeckh,
Corp.
Inscrip. i. p. 789, ii. p. 580.)
