Characteristic of Greece (8)
I believe the answer is:
hellenic
'characteristic of greece' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hellenic that I've seen before include "Athens is such" , "Relating to ancient Greece" , "Pertaining to the inhabitants of Greece" , "Characteristic of Greece" , "Concerning the culture of ancient Greece, as in chenille" .)
