Hellas is a lyrical drama written by the famous English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (P. B. Shelley) in 1821 and published in 1822.
Shelley wrote this dramatic poem while living in Pisa, Italy, inspired by the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire. Dedicated to Prince Alexandros Mavrokordatos, the work is heavily influenced by Aeschylus's ancient Greek tragedy The Persians.
