Hellenistic and paganism are not the same, though they can overlap. Hellenistic refers to the cultural and historical period following the conquests of Alexander the great, characterized by the spread of Greek culture and influence across a vast region. Paganism, on the other hand, generally refers to polytheistic religious traditions that were practiced in various societies, including those influenced by Hellenistic culture, but is not limited to it. Thus, while Hellenistic culture included pagan beliefs, not all pagan practices are inherently Hellenistic.
