This is a problem of character encoding. These days, UTF-8 encoding is used to support virtually all alphabets and writing systems, including English and Greek. Make sure your input forms are using UTF-8. Also make sure the pages that display the database results use UTF-8. By default, Dreamweaver now sets encoding to Unicode UTF-8, but older versions used Western European (iso-8859-1), which doesn't support Greek.

If changing the encoding of your web pages to UTF-8 doesn't fix the problem, see the following post which deals with a similar problem: http://forums.adobe.com/message/564412#564412.
