I'm surprised you don't get Greek by default, but what happens depends on your Emacs version, amongst other things. Define a suitable fontset using the fonts you have -- see "Defining Fontsets" in the manual -- or maybe use a sufficiently-comprehensive single font, like iso10646 versions of misc-fixed. xfontsel(1) may be helpful.
