Thanks for your reply, Khaled.

I use TL2009, my document is utf8, babel is invoked the usual way (at 
least for greek), pdflatex and xelatex work, but lualatex doesn't:

\documentclass[a5paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[greek]{babel}
\usepackage{ifluatex}
\usepackage{ifxetex}
\ifluatex
\usepackage{luaotfload}
\usepackage[EU2]{fontenc}
\renewcommand*{\greektext}{}
\else
\ifxetex
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Theano Didot}
\renewcommand*{\greektext}{}
\else
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\fi
\fi
\begin{document}
\showhyphens{χαλεπὰ}
ἡ ῥητορική  ἐστιν  ἀντίστροφος  τῇ διαλεκτικῇ: ἀμφότεραι  γὰρ  περὶ 
τοιούτων  τινῶν  εἰσιν  ἃ κοινὰ  τρόπον  τινὰ  ἁπάντων  ἐστὶ  γνωρίζειν 
  καὶ  οὐδεμιᾶς  ἐπιστήμης  ἀφωρισμένης: διὸ  καὶ  πάντες  τρόπον  τινὰ 
  μετέχουσιν  ἀμφοῖν: πάντες  γὰρ  μέχρι τινὸς καὶ ἐξετάζειν καὶ ὑπέχειν 
λόγον καὶ ἀπολογεῖσθαι καὶ κατηγορεῖν ἐγχειροῦσιν.
\end{document}

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
