In general, the cheap packages do not do greek at all.
Those with a greek option for a little more money do only modern greek.
I don't recall seeing announcements for any that do ancient polytonic greek.

The expensive Kurzweill scanner used at the CCAT at U Penn is trainable
and can probably do what you want after training, and they at least used to
do contract work for people, but the cost might be a dollar or two per page.
