Public domain Greek text in Unicode

Is anyone aware of any significant chunk (several hundred lines) of
classical (i.e. public domain) Greek text freely vailable on the net in
Unicode or UTF-8? I need some for an example in a book I'm working on.
However, so far all I've been able to dig up are strange English
transliterations. Failing Greek, I could also use something in a Cyrillic
script, but that would be trickier since I don't speak
Russian/Ukranian/etc.

Arabic/Hebrew/Devanagari are ruled out because I don't have a system that
can display them. And I do need something that is clearly non-ASCII/Latin-1
which unfortunately rules out French, Spanish, English, etc. (all
apparently much easier to find).
