OK, there's nothing inherently wrong with what you did. I would
advise, however, to install additional packages either to the local
texmf tree or to you personal tree. These are defined in the file /etc/
texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf as
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/share/texmf

and

TEXMFHOME = $HOME/TEXMF

You have unzipped into the main tree, so it should work as well. I
would ask you to make sure that the important files are in the right
position, so run

ls /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/third

and that the files are seen by TeX, so run

kpsewhere t-ancientgreek.tex

Post the output of these commands.

I think I have managed to do the installation:

adsm@adsm:~> kpsewhere t-ancientgreek.tex
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/third/t-ancientgreek.tex


Still I am missing something else because texexec doesn't go through.  
texexec greek_try.tex hangs on with this message:
