Itelmen's definitions
An individual (traditionally a Westerner) possessing an obsession or fetishism of Greek, identity, culture, historiography, or (more often aestheticism). Hellenaboos, as with any form of ‘boo’ are not to be conflated with those simply holding in interest in the Hellenic world, but rather those who obsess over its qualities & often focus more on stereotypical aspects & generalizations, such as Pop Mythology & Pop history rather than Genuine Greek culture.
