Classicists: Pushy & Arrogant?

That bastion of high culture, The Onion, has an intermittently funny piece entitled "You Are No Longer Welcome in the Homer Reading Group":

...
I was completely serious. You are either in my reading group, or you are in Kouri's Virgil Symposium. A woman cannot drink from two fountains at once, nor can she butter her bread on three sides. You've been sneaking about and I've caught you, so get out. No, do not finish your ouzo. Just go.
...
Gather up your vocabulary cards and parsing sheets. Take your lists of Attic equivalents and Homeric exceptions from the push-board in the hall. You may return my Smyth and pay any outstanding copy-charge fees by campus mail. For now, grapsometha ten adikon graphen pseudon. You are no longer invited to my birthday.

So, yeah, there's Greek in the Onion! I haven't figured out how to reproduce it here yet. Strange, though: someone has the rudiments of Greek grammar, but doesn't know about final sigmas...

[UPDATE (3/27/04): Thanks for the comments; here's the Greek from the passage quoted above: γραψωμεϑα την αδικον γραφην ψευδων--how's that? I've used Ed's handy link! Incidentally, you can see what the writer was getting at for each Greek segment if you "view source"--with each Greek graphic, there's an 'alt="..."' showing the intended meaning. For this sentence, it's: "Let us indict the unjust woman on charges of lying"--not "Let us make the unjust indictment for lying."]

The Greek text in The Onion's article is a graphic. You can right click on it and then click on "Save picture as." I don't know anything about how Typepad works but I assume there's some way to upload images.

The text was probably created with Symbol, which IIRC doesn't include a final sigma.

This page may prove useful, if the question is how to generate Unicode characters for Greek, like ΔΕΜΟΣ
