Greece has completed five years of austerity just as popular “Game of Thrones” is in its fifth series and both the Greek crisis and the popular series have a great deal in common with politics, diplomatic games and danger lurking ahead. Of course, not even George R. R. Martin’s fantasy could have come up with as many cliff-hankers as Greece’s very real turmoil.

The fifth season of the hit series Game of Thrones kicks off on April 12 and promises another 10 episodes full of fantasy, intrigue, sex and violence in the mythical kingdom of the Westeros and Essos.
