Dimitrios Filippou's improved hyphenation patterns discover far more
hyphenation points than the default Latex patterns, and are more
accurate, especially for compound words.  Here is an example of the
default patterns at work on the start of Herodotus:

And here is what Filippou's finds in the same passage:  (You should
obtain the same result when compiling the present file, except for the
hyphenation points before the last letter of a word, which the
Ibycus-Babel interface suppresses by default.)

Notice that the hyphenation points right after the first letter of
words beginning with a vowel+consonant+vowel are legal, according to
the rules for hyphenation of Greek, ancient and modern.  See the
account by Yannis Haralambous "From Unicode to Typography, a Case
Study:  the Greek Script",
<http://omega.enstb.org/yannis/pdf/boston99.pdf>, pp~18f.
