Regarding the Wikipedia article on Greek alphabet: The ancient pronunciation for epsilon “Ε ε” in IPA was not be [e] but [ɛ]. The IPA symbol [ɛ] should replace the symbol [e] to symbolize the ancient pronunciation of epsilon “Ε ε” in the table. Eta “Η η” was pronounced [ɛː] in ancient Greek (distinguished by length from epsilon “Ε ε,” [ɛ] in IPA), but it became [e] in koine (Hellenistic) Greek. See the Wikipedia article on koine Greek.
