Am learning the modern, the neo demotiki or how do you say that, domotikos?
Anyhow, it helps me with familiarization with the alphabet.

Got to get started, somehow, even in a little way.
46 weeks later, I begin by refreshing my memory of what IS Homeric Greek:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeric_Greek
The Iliad, lines 1-7
Μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος
οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾿ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾿ ἔθηκε,
πολλὰς δ᾿ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν
ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν
οἰωνοῖσί τε πᾶσι· Διὸς δ᾿ ἐτελείετο βουλή,
ἐξ οὗ δὴ τὰ πρῶτα διαστήτην ἐρίσαντε
Ἀτρεΐδης τε ἄναξ ἀνδρῶν καὶ δῖος Ἀχιλλεύς.
