Heard on a folk radio program, sung a capella... there were mentions of Plato, Pythagoras, Hippocrates ("whatever you do don't you do any harm"), and when he got to the Iliad and the Odyssey I remember some rhyme about "odd, is he..." ? Thank you! Already sought in the trad and on the Internet, of course...

Not an Irish song, but written by the incomparable Mark Graham.

The Ancient Greeks
