The greek is active at the moment the headers are built. Add english
to the definition of the header:

\pagestyle{headings}
\makeatletter
      \def\@oddhead{\selectlanguage{english}%
                    \slshape\headtoname{} \ignorespaces\toname
                    \hfil \@date
                    \hfil \pagename{} \thepage}
\makeatletter
