I can’t remember where I found the information that el-monoton

Hyphenation patterns for Greek are three: grc, el-monoton and el-polyton.
Ancient and medieval Greek are hyphenated in a different way than
polytonic Greek before 1982 (when monotonic orthography was introduced
by law).
Ah, thank you for the explanation!
But at least in ConTeXt LMTX, there are only the agr patterns left, and
lang-def.mkxl contains:
"""

So it seems that is wrong / incomplete.
AFAI understand, "el" should be modern greek (post 1982, monotonic),
"grc" Ancient and Medieval Greek (polytonic), and "el-polytonic" should
cover 1453–1982.
