(set-input-method 'greek)

You can bind it to a function key, for example I have:

(global-set-key [C-f10] (lambda()(interactive)(set-input-method 'cyrillic-yawerty)))
(global-set-key [C-f11] (lambda()(interactive)(set-input-method 'greek)))
(global-set-key [C-f12] (lambda()(interactive)(set-input-method 'hebrew)))

in my ~/.emacs.  Then I'd type:

   C-f11 a C-\ -ketoglutarate 

to get:

   α-ketoglutarate

C-f11 χριστòς C-\
