Greek Alphabet in LaTeX

Writing Greek letters in LaTeX is quite logical. In English it almost matches the regular spelling. But just in case it is useful to have a source for self-checking.

Greek Alphabet in LaTeX notation

alpha	\alpha	α	\Alpha	Α
beta	\beta	β	\Beta	Β
gamma	\gamma	γ	\Gamma	Γ
delta	\delta	δ	\Delta	Δ
epsilon	\epsilon	ε	\Epsilon	Ε
zeta	\zeta	ζ	\Zeta	Ζ
eta	\eta	η	\Eta	Η

Epsilon, theta, pi, rho, sigma and phi have two spellings: plain and var, produced by adding the var prefix to the plain code. For example \Epsilon \Varepsilon
