Hellenistic refers to Hellenism - Greek culture. Alexander the Great, on capturing the Persian Empire, tried to introduce Greek culture as a way of civilising it according to his viewpoint. On his death his generals split up this empire amongst themselves as kings. They introduced a veneer of Greek culture amongst the upper classes of their kingdoms, but the lower classes continued on their own cultures. We today call them Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek) as they were superficially like Greek, but not fully so.
