History

First contact between Danes and Greeks dates back from the 4th century BC, when Greek merchant Pytheas went to Denmark. In 1863, the second King of Greece, George I, was of Danish descent, and his successors, the House of Glücksburg, reigned over the country until 1973/1974.

In 1967, Denmark and three other countries brought the Greek Case against the Greek junta regime for human rights violations.^[1]
