WHAT DOES PANHELLENION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Panhellenion

The Panhellenion or Panhellenium was an institution of cities established in the year 131-132 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian while he was touring the Roman provinces of Greece. Hadrian was philhellenic, and idealized the Classical past of Greece. The Panhellenion was part of this philhellenism, and was set up, with Athens at the centre, to try to recreate the apparent "unified Greece" of the fifth-century, when the Greeks took on the Persian enemy. The Panhellenion was primarily a religious organization, and most of the deeds of the institution which we have relate to its own self-governing. Admission to the Panhellenion was subject to scrutiny of a city's Hellenic descent. Fighting between the delegates, however, turned the Panhellenion into an institution like the Delian League of the 5th century BC and the Panhellenion did not survive in any real sense after Hadrian's death. In 137 AD, the Panhellenic Games were held at Athens as part of the ideal of Panhellenism and harking back to the Panathenaic Festival of the fifth century.
