There is no Greek in that HTML it is all in Roman letters but shown 
with rather strange shapes.  It is an example of the misuse of 
fonts.

Incidentally, even the text only browser Lynx will attempt to render 
Greek as best it can if done properly.  α displays as o acute 
and ω as w, in code page 437.  Yours just displays as:

   [1]TEX  source

   a A Alpha b B Beta g G Gamma d D Delta e E Epsilon z Z Zeta h H Eta q
   Q Theta

   i I Iota k K Kappa l L Lambda m M Mu n N Nu x X Xi o O Omicron p P Pi

   r P Rho s S Sigma t T Tau u Y Upsilon f F Phi c X Chi y Y Psi w W
   Omega

This is the same thing done properly (showing the rendering would require
GIFs, but Lynx does a fair job of approximating this and IE4 gets it
perfect).  Unfortunately NS 4.05 doesn't understand these entities:
