Something relating to or resembling the style, art, or culture of ancient Greece.
From Latin 'Graecianus', derived from 'Graecia' meaning Greece. The word became popular in the 1700s when European culture became obsessed with neoclassical design.
The 'Grecian urn' inspired Keats' famous poem, but real Greek urns looked quite different—the idealized vision of ancient Greece that inspired art for centuries was partly based on imagination and 18th-century romanticism.
