Greek Accent Problem

Fellow rxvt-unicode fans,

I just joined an ancient Greek beginner study group.  While checking to make
sure mail client, etc., is up to the challenge(my brain being up to the
challenge is another story) I've come across a problem with rxvt-unicode.
It's displaying some accented Greek characters, such as the ones in this
sample:

Χριστιανοὶ γὰρ οὔτε γῇ οὔτε φωνῇ οὔτε ἔθεσι διακεκριμένοι τῶν λοιπῶν εἰσιν
ἀνθρώπων οὔτε γάρ που πόλεις ἰδίας κατοικοῦσι οὔτε διαλέκτῳ τινὶ
παρηλλαγμένῃ χρῶνται οὔτε βίον παράσημον ἀσκοῦσιν οὐ μὴν ἐπινοίᾳ τινὶ καὶ
φροντίδι πολυπραγμόνων ἀνθρώπων μάθημα τοῦτ᾽ αὐτοῖς ἐστιν εὑρημένον οὐδὲ
δόματος ἀνθρωπίνου προεστᾶσιν ὥσπερ ἔνιοι.

as boxes.  The same text displays correctly in gnome-terminal, with the same
font, Terminus.  Is rxvt-unicode able to display the above correctly?  If
so, does anyone have any tips on getting it working on my box?  My locale is
set to en_US.UTF-8.

What's the definition of a legacy system?  One that works!
