 	According to the link below, there are some fairly significant 
differences between "Historic Attic Pronunciation" (which I'm assuming is the 
Classical Greek of Homer) and "Historic Biblical Pronunciation" (which I'm 
assuming is Koine.

 	If you look at, for example, the letters β/B δ/D γ/G θ/Q φ/F χ/X you 
will notice that they're different.

 	HTH,
