Greece
Hellas; the land or region inhabited by Greeks, especially in contrast to non-Greeks. In the context of the Hellenistic and Roman periods, 'Hellas' may refer narrowly to mainland Greece (the southern Balkan Peninsula including cities such as Athens and Corinth) or more broadly to any territory identified with Greek-speaking peoples and culture. Occasionally, 'Hellas' serves as a metonym for Hellenic civilization or cultural identity.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1671-01
Hellas
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AFS) — proper name in direct-object case. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Hellas" preserves the proper name and root identity of the Greek homeland rather than substituting the later Latinized form "Greece." The accusative feminine singular form reflects the direct-object case, though proper nouns in English remain unchanged in form. |
