Dear John,

copied from the wiki, you may generate the list yourself with:

  \usemodule[languages-system]
  \starttext
  \loadinstalledlanguages
  \showinstalledlanguages
  \stoptext

The distribution also contains a `languages-mkiv.pdf` (direct link to
the list of available languages:
https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/languages-mkiv.pdf#page=7).

The command for ancient Greek is `\agr`. Recently (only for PDF/UA
tagging purposes), we added "grc", but only as ISO 639-3 code value.

If there has been a discussion about other commands for ancient Greek,
I’m afraid I cannot recall it.

`\deo` was a command not that long ago, but now it isn’t available. So
you would need `\language[deo]`. The BCP-47 code value is "de-1901"
(just in case it might be relevant for you).

I hope it might help,

Pablo
