How does one write this in greek?
Are the e etas or epsilons? What are the accents brathings etc?
Is "Plato, Phaedo 81a" the correct way to cite the source?
I'd like to put it as a citation in my free physics text
( see 1100 pages on http://www.motionmountain.net )
Thank you in advance!

See Above.
What are the accents brathings etc?
The symbols noted in the above Greek are acute accents ' stress marks.
There are breathing marks(but not in the above) which are as followsÑ
a single open quote marks for a rough or ¨h¨sound
a single closed quote mark for a soft (silent) sound.

If you are using Windows XP, go to add languages, and choose to add polytonic
Greek. Set your choice of font to Palatine or another that supports polytonic
Greek. You can set your keyboard to shift between English and Greek by choosing
a set of keystrokes. I think that the default is Left Alt ànd Shift.

μελέτη θανάτου (UTF-8)
(my - epsilon - lambda - epsilon/acute - tau - eta,
theta - alpha - ny - alpha/acute - tau - omikron - upsilon)
