ConTeXt Live didn't work because the default font (Latin Modern) has
almost no Greek glyphs present. You need to use another font, but then
again - the garden might be lacking good greek fonts. You shold add at
least
\usetypescript[antykwa-torunska]
\setupbodyfont[antykwa]
and choose XeTeX or LuaTeX.
But then again - I bothered Taco so much about the urge to upload the
latest version of ConTeXt to CTAN, and completely forgot that the
latest LM font release broke the ConTeXt live as well.
ConTeXt live is based on TeX Live 2007 + latest ConTeXt - we will
probably move it to use the "new minimals". In the meantime I will try
to replace the Latin Modern fonts.
The misfunction of live ConTeX should not be the showstopper.
