MD Query

Hey Group:
Was reading a short summary on Socrates and just wondering - What is the
basis for the term "Hellenistic"? Does it refer to the period of time of the
pre-Socatics through Aristotle? Is it a "golden age" of Greece? And what is
the root of the word? I think a portion of the Greek empire was once known
as "Hellas", but I could be wrong...and are "Hellenic" and "Hellenistic"
interchangeable? Put your thinking caps on...
