Terrible place incites trouble for Greek (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hellenistic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'greek' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Old Greek' mean 'hellenistic' so perhaps 'greek' could also mean 'hellenistic')

'terrible place incites trouble' is the wordplay.
'terrible place' becomes 'hell' (I have seen 'Infernal place' mean 'hell' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'hell'. I am not sure about the 'terrible' bit.).
'trouble' is an anagram indicator.
'incites' is an anagram of 'enistic'.
'hell'+'enistic'='HELLENISTIC'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hellenistic that I've seen before include "of Greece" , "dealing with Greek culture" , "Old Greek" , "Relating to Greek culture" .)
