Hi,
there's neither ancient Greek nor Latin in etc/HELLO yet.
Especially the former would be nice to have, since it would test
if the installed fonts can display characters from Unicode block
U1F00-U1FFF (Greek extended).
I therefore propose to add the following two lines:
,----
| Greek, ancient (ἑλληνική) Οὖλέ τε καὶ μέγα χαῖρε
| Latin (latina) Salve
`----
Patch is attached.
Ulrich

Latin is not very useful, but adding ancient Greek is a good idea.
Where did you get the text from?

So are English, Italian, Dutch/Nederlands and Norwegian. But I agree,
I had added Latin just for completeness.

It's as classic as Greek can get. :-) For example, the greeting
appears in Homer's Odyssey (book 24, line 403):
