Hellenic means greek. Hellas is the ancient greek word for Greece. The word Greece/ greek was imported during roman times.
Present Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, part of Turkey used to be greek. However, greek people do not claim this land back. They just want to protect the present land status.

Hellenism did not exist until the 1800's
Hellenism is an ENEMY of Orthodoxy, Byzantines called this Hellenic idea the devil. The whole "Helenic identity" is based on a contradiction.
The word Hellene was not used for an ethnic group until the 1800's. There is no cultural or genealogical relationship between ancient and modern Greece. The language cannot be used as any sort of direct link for it was the language of the Orthodox church and it had the same influence as Latin, in case you didn't realize, the Irish aren’t Italian.
Greek-speaking clergy from the Orthodox church used the house of the lord to do their evil and cunningly tried to brainwash everybody to become "Greeks" and forget their own historical ancestry. Even before the creation of any Greek state, the Greek-speaking clergy monopolized education in the Christian segments of the Ottoman Empire. Even in 1810, there were only two elementary schools in the Pashalik of Belgrade (the core of future Serbia), and in both the language of instruction was Greek.
A popular song promoted by the Greek-speaking clergy in 1802 was the following, "Albanians, Wallachians, Bulgarians, speakers of other tongues, rejoice! And ready yourselves all to become Greeks. Abandoning your barbaric tongues, speech and customs, so that to your descendants they may appear as myths", first mentioned by Daniil Michaili Adami, 1802. Now you tell me, is it or is it not pathetic the length that the "Greeks" went to 200 years ago to have these results today, 70% of Australia's Greeks can speak another language at home, be it Macedonian, Turkish, Vlach or Albanian. I equate your "Greek" identity with my Australian one, nothing more, ethnically most of the country is diverse, yet you are all somehow still second cousins with Plato, funny that.
Proof of the fact that neither the Greeks nor the Greek language were dominant in Macedonia comes from your very own king George I, who in his correspondence with the Count Kalonky of the Hapsburgs, taken from the Austro-Hungarian files and cited by Hans Lother Steppan in his Macedonian Knot, stated that "there are not many Greeks living in Macedonia".
