Hellenism of Keats
Definition:
The word "Hellenism" is derived from the word 'Hellene' which means Greek. So, Hellenism
means Greek quality, culture, manner, Greek spirit and Greek idioms.
Features of Keats Hellenism:
Keats was a Hellenistic. He was influenced and inspired by Hellenism which was soul of his
poetry. Like all writers of romantic age, Keats too loved nature and admired the beauty of nature.
His poetry is characterized by rich sensuous quality as well.
Keats study of Greek classics and sculpture
Keats has no first knowledge of Greek literature He derived his knowledge of Greek classics
from translations and books of reference like
 Translation of Greek Classics.
 Lempriere's Classical Dictionary
 Through Greek Sculpture
Love for Greek art and nature
Keats Hellenism on his love for Greek arts sculpture and mythology has made him distinct in the
gallery of romantics. He belongs to romantic era and like all writers of that age. He also loves
nature. He does not give any theory or ideology about nature. It was Shelly who first expressed
his opinion that
"Keats was a Greek"
Though Keats was not an English man or not an English poet. Since Hellenism, refers to the
height of Greek culture, especially in regard to its influence. Keats is a Hellenist in the since that
he continues to spread Greek culture through his poetry. Keats discusses the figure on ge Urn as
pristine and perfect since they are frozen in time.
Hellenism in Ode to the Grecian Urn:
Keats shares the Greek literature by addressing Urn with reference to the time and silence. The
Urn is a bride wedded to the spirit of silence. Keats personifies the Urn like a adopted child. He
says:
“Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness
Thou foster-child of silence and slow time
‘Sylvan Historian’ Can-thus expresses
A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme.”
Keats typical attitude of Greek who attributed human shapes to god and goddesses.
“What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?
What mad pursuit? What to struggle to escape?
What pipes and tumbrels? What wild ecstasy?
Keats love is simple for the ancient Greek arts. Keats love for the ancient Greek Urn’s beauty is
conveyed as:
“Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on:
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear’d,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone…”
He looks at the trees surrounding the lovers and feels happy that they will never shed their
leaves. He is happy for the piper because his songs will be forever and happy that the love of
boy and girl will last forever unlike mortal love.
“ah, happy, happy boughs! That cannot shed
Your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu;
And, happy melodist, unwearied,
Forever piping songs forever new;
More happy love! More happy, happy love!
Forever warm and still to be enjoy’d”
Keats’ poetry is a mixture of various allusions to the art, culture and literature of Greek. In this
regard ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ is a perfect instance. The pictures which are engraved on the
Grecian Urn show Keats' love for the Greek art, culture, and ideals. For instance:
“Who are these coming to the sacrifice?
To what green altar, O mysterious priest,
Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,
And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?
What little town by river or sea-shore,
Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,
Is emptied of its folk, this pious morn?”
The most important factor in Keats’ Hellenism was his own Greek temperament of his mind.
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty-that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”
Reader can feel the passion for beauty; beauty is truth. For Keats, beauty became a very
subtle and embracing concept. Like the Greeks, Keats too adored beauty. He believed in a
close relationship between truth and beauty. However, he did not attempt to escape from the
harshness of human existence to an ideal world of beauty.
Conclusion:
We can conclude that Keats is a visual poet, a writer of senses and feelings but his poems and
letters bear splendid witness to the quality of his thoughts. Keats can extremely referred as a
pure poet who has a passion for beauty and truth. His poetry is for the sake of poetry and nothing
else. His use of Greek Hellenistic ideas in his poems is praiseworthy.

Hellenism in Ode to the Grecian Urn: Keats shares the Greek literature by addressing Urn with reference to the time and silence. The Urn is a bride wedded to the spirit of silence. Keats personifies the Urn like a adopted child. He says: “Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness Thou foster-child of silence and slow time
  • 3. ‘Sylvan Historian’ Can-thus expresses A flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme.” Keats typical attitude of Greek who attributed human shapes to god and goddesses. “What men or gods are these? What maidens loth? What mad pursuit? What to struggle to escape? What pipes and tumbrels? What wild ecstasy? Keats love is simple for the ancient Greek arts. Keats love for the ancient Greek Urn’s beauty is conveyed as: “Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on: Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear’d, Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone…” He looks at the trees surrounding the lovers and feels happy that they will never shed their leaves. He is happy for the piper because his songs will be forever and happy that the love of boy and girl will last forever unlike mortal love. “ah, happy, happy boughs! That cannot shed Your leaves, nor ever bid the spring adieu; And, happy melodist, unwearied, Forever piping songs forever new; More happy love! More happy, happy love! Forever warm and still to be enjoy’d” Keats’ poetry is a mixture of various allusions to the art, culture and literature of Greek. In this regard ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ is a perfect instance. The pictures which are engraved on the Grecian Urn show Keats' love for the Greek art, culture, and ideals. For instance: “Who are these coming to the sacrifice? To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies, And all her silken flanks with garlands drest? What little town by river or sea-shore, Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel, Is emptied of its folk, this pious morn?” The most important factor in Keats’ Hellenism was his own Greek temperament of his mind.
  • 4. “Beauty is truth, truth beauty-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” Reader can feel the passion for beauty; beauty is truth. For Keats, beauty became a very subtle and embracing concept. Like the Greeks, Keats too adored beauty. He believed in a close relationship between truth and beauty. However, he did not attempt to escape from the harshness of human existence to an ideal world of beauty. Conclusion: We can conclude that Keats is a visual poet, a writer of senses and feelings but his poems and letters bear splendid witness to the quality of his thoughts. Keats can extremely referred as a pure poet who has a passion for beauty and truth. His poetry is for the sake of poetry and nothing else. His use of Greek Hellenistic ideas in his poems is praiseworthy.
