Hyphenation patterns for Greek are three: grc, el-monoton and el-polyton. Ancient and medieval Greek are hyphenated in a different way than polytonic Greek before 1982 (when monotonic orthography was introduced by law). This is the main reason why three patterns are needed. But if anyone uses ConTeXt to typeset modern Greek, the different hyphenation was not noticed (or there was no message to the list).
