Question

Answer

I am poor in Geographic History, however i suggest this could makes a sight:

An island in the northern Atlantic Ocean west of Great Britain. The island was invaded by Celts c. 500 B.C. and converted to Christianity by Saint Patrick in the fifth century A.D. It joined Great Britain in 1801 but after the Easter Rebellion (1916) and a civil war (1919-1921) the island was split into the independent Irish Free State (now Ireland) and Northern Ireland, which is still allied with Great Britain.

Answer

It's more a case of; "Ok, think of Athens, the cultural centre and the centre of civilization in ancient Greece.  Now, imagine if Ireland (for example) had something like that!"  So you describe one city using the  qualities of another more-famous city.

PS. 'Athens of the West' turns out to be Lexington, Kentucky... 'Athens of the North' is Edinburgh... and as Domasla said, 'Athens of Ireland' is Belfast: "a cultural and academic centre."

Hurrah for Google.

Answer

"Which city is respectively called "Athens of Ireland"?"

Belfast. Belfast is called "Athens of Ireland". (Although it is in Northern Ireland, some would say...)

I think because it has some neo-classical buildings. Imitations of ancient greek and roman temples.

"Athens of..." and "Paris of..." is used to signify a certain cultural standard.
