Panhellē′nion, or Panhellē′nium, a council representing all the sections of the Greeks; Panhell′enism, a scheme for forming all Greeks into one political body; Panhell′enist, one who favours Panhellenism.

It is a commonplace that Isocrates is the apostle of Panhellenism.

His Panhellenism was the outcome of his recognition of the new forces and tendencies which were at work in the midst of a new generation.

His Panhellenism led him to a more liberal view of the distinction between what was Greek and what was not than was possible to the intenser patriotism of a Demosthenes.

It is his apologia for Panhellenism.
