The best starting point is: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Greek As the page says, you basically need to 1. Install Latex fonts that support Greek (or check that you have them installed on your system already 2. Install screen fonts that support Greek 3. Load babel with the greek and the polutoniko option For input, if all you need (as I did once) are short fragments, then you can just use ERT in the body of the LyX document. For instance, you can type \textgreek{p'asqein} to get the appropriate accents. Or you can have a \selectlanguage{greek} at the beginning of a longer passage and restore to english (or Italian) with \selectlanguage{english} when you are done. This method is not really practical if you have passages longer than a line or two. See this thread: http://n2.nabble.com/greek-fonts-td481669.html#a17750109 and the example file provided by Günter Milde for another solution.
