Detailed explanation-1: -The qualities and characteristics of Keats’s Hellenism or “Greekness” may be thus summarised: his love of beauty-his spontaneous response to it in all forms. his pagan delight in Nature and in the physical side of life. his manner of personifying the phenomena of Nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Ode to a Nightingale” uses hellenistic images which he tries to objectify his pain and draw a parallel comparison. The image of “hemlock” reminds of the poison drank by Socrates and the water “Lethe” which suggest the ancient Greek mythological underworld of paradise.
