\nHelen(a) in Greek legend, the most beautiful
\nof all women. She was the daughter of Leda
\nand Zeus, who came to Leda as a swan. Helen was therefore born from an egg.
\nLeda’s husband, Tyndareos (king of Sparta), was thus Helen’s foster father. As
\nthere were many suitors for Helen’s hand, Tyndareos
\nhad each of them take an oath swearing to
\ncome when needed to the aid of the man
\nchosen as her husband. The man who came
\nto be chosen was Menelaus. When Paris, aided by Aphrodite, whom he had awarded

\nHellas In the Greek language Greece is

\nHellene(s)<\/b> the name, originally, of a tribe
\nwhich settled in the southeast of Thessaly; it
\nlater developed into the national name of the
\nGreeks. The Hellenes traced their descent to Hellen, grandson of Prometheus. In
\nIlion,
\n<\/i>the word usually describes Achilles and his
\nmen, who came from Phthia. "Hellenism" is a Greek idiom or construction,
\nimitation of the Greeks, Greek nationality and Greek culture. It is the culture,
\nideals, and pattern of life of ancient Greece in classical times. The term is
\nalso used to apply to the ideals of later thinkers who draw their inspiration
\nfrom ancient Greece. Frequently it is contrasted with Hebraism; then Hellenism
\nmeans pagan joy, freedom, and love of life
\nas contrasted with the more serious and
\neven gloomy ethic of the Old Testament.
\nA Hellenist is one who used the Greek
\nlanguage although not a Greek. (Col. Enc.;<\/font><\/p>\n

\ninstitution of the peoples known as Hindus
\n<\/b>(principally the peoples of India and parts of

\nof the world) that have evolved from Vedism.
\nHinduism constitutes a complex but largely
\ncontinuous whole; and because it covers
\n<\/b>the
\n<\/b>whole of life, it has religious, social, economic, literary and artistic aspects.
