Relating to the ancient Greek Bronze Age civilization of southern Greece, also called the Helladic culture.
From 'Hellas' (ancient Greece) + '-ian' (relating to). Refers to archaeological periods in mainland Greek prehistory (c. 3200-1100 BCE).
Helladian civilization predates classical Greece by thousands of years—these were the ancestors of the famous Greeks, but they left no written records, so archaeologists learned their story from pottery and ruins.
