Religion. Gods and heroes were most prominent but there was a good deal of political, sporting and cultural art in addition.
Hellenistic art was focused more on perfection of the human form, precision and detail. Sculptures from Hellenistic times looked more God-like than human. In contrast, Hellenic art was based on the new idea of realism. Hellenic sculptures were shaped into realistic, faulted human forms. These are the basic differences between the two types.

The word Hellenic means of or relating to Greece, Greek, or the Greek language. It can also specifically mean of or relating to ancient Greek history, culture, or art before the Hellenistic period.
Hellenic culture combines elements of ancient Greek traditions, philosophy, art, and architecture. It encompasses the beliefs, values, and practices of the ancient Greeks and has had a lasting influence on Western civilization.
Classical Hellenic art refers to the artistic achievements of ancient Greece, particularly during the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, a period marked by a focus on harmony, proportion, and the idealized representation of the human form. This era produced renowned sculptures, such as those by Phidias and Praxiteles, as well as architecture exemplified by structures like the Parthenon. The art often emphasized themes from mythology, human emotion, and the pursuit of beauty, reflecting the cultural values of ancient Greek society. Overall, classical Hellenic art laid the foundational principles that influenced Western art for centuries to come.
