Difficult to answer this question because it's a bit vague. What kind of documents do you want to produce with ConTeXt? Articles, presentations, textbooks, lists, interactive screen documents? But to give you a few pointers that may or may not be useful: - The first stop would be the wiki http://wiki.contextgarden.net . There is a section called "Sample documents" that may be a good starting point. - You could have a look at recent issues of the PracTeX journal; there is some stuff about ConTeXt in there, and it should be good for beginners. - Of course, the Pragma website, but I guess you know that already. - Finally, for ancient Greek, there is the ancientgreek module http:// modules.contextgarden.net/t-greek which I find superior to all Greek typesetting in LaTeX (because I wrote the module). Don't hesitate to ask here when you have specific questions, but maybe that can get you started. I am a humanities guy and do all my work in ConTeXt...
