GREEK FACTS

The official name of the country of Greece is the Hellenic Republic. This name reflects the country's ancient heritage and its status as a modern democratic republic. The name "Hellenic" comes from the Greek word "Hellas," which was the ancient name for Greece. The term "Republic" indicates that Greece is a democratic state with an elected government, in which the power is held by the people or their elected representatives, rather than by a, for example, a monarch.
