A bunch of us are doing sock puppet theatre, and the first play is Sophocles' "Oedipus the King". I was curious if I could find the Greek version on the web. At first I was stymied by the fact that I don't know the Greek spelling of Sophocles (it turns out to be Σοφοκλεουσ), so I tried doing a Google search on "Oedipus" (in English) and then ruminated on Greek words that were reasonably common and I could spell. I finally settled on "πετρα" ("rock"), and found it here.
So things seem to basically work, using MacOS X, Safari, and the Greek keyboard method.
I'm going to have to see how much of that carries over to OS 9 and iCab or Opera. I hadn't tried from the Mac yesterday. (I'm going to borrow some of your improvised search technique too.)
