Good idea, though not everyone has easy access to Greek characters on their keyboards. I wonder if the Greek characters are better suited for `short_name`.
Also, Φ is phi, Τ is tau, and Θ is theta. In changeset 30993287, I took the Greek characters currently in `name` and expanded them in `alt_name`, assuming that you got the names wrong originally. But if you had the names right originally, then they should be ΔΘΔ and ΠΚΘ.

I'm sticking with name, because the greek characters are the only actual signs on the buildings.
Good call with the alt_names. Is there something like a tag for name:english?
I know I have one of those wrong (I think it was actually a Tau and not a Theta for one of them), but I'm on campus now so I'll check in a minute and correct it!

I know only enough ancient greek right now to be a danger. ;-)

`name:en` is for English. I went with `alt_name` because these expanded names are what people would tend to search for in a geocoder like Nominatim.
