"Hellas" is the name of "Greece", in Greek. "Hellenistic" means "about Greece or Greek culture".
Prior to Alexander the great, "Hellas" was a region containing a number of sometimes-warring city-states. The most notable, and most opposed, were Sparta and Athens. Most of the mainland states were either neutral or under the sway of Sparta; the island cities were predominantly aligned with Athens. Things came to a major conflict during the Peloponnesian Wars, from about 431BCE to 404BCE.
The end of the Hellenistic period is associated with the Roman takeover of the Hellenistic states. The Romans annexed mainland Greece in 146 BC and Syria in 63 BC. They annexed the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt in 30 BC and this is seen as the end of the Hellenistic period.
