James Joyce (1882 –1941), the Irish novelist and poet, was a committed philhellene with a fascination for the literature of ancient Greece. When Joyce was asked at the age of twelve to write about his favourite hero, he chose Odysseus! #IreGre50 @dfatirl @GreeceMFA

Have you ever wondered why Panathinaikos F.C. have a shamrock as their logo? While it remains a matter of discussion, some say it was inspired by the famous shirt worn by athlete Billy Sherring in the 1906 Athens Games! #IreGre50 @dfatirl @GreeceMFA
