Print the Greek national anthem

Question

In March 25, 1821, Greece fought its great war of independence. In order to honor this, your task is to print the Greek national anthem:

Σε γνωρίζω από την κόψη
του σπαθιού την τρομερή.
Σε γνωρίζω από την όψη
που με βιά μετράει τη γη.
Απ' τα κόκκαλα βγαλμένη,
των Ελλήνων τα ιερά!
Και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,
χαίρε ω χαίρε Λευτεριά!
Και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,
χαίρε ω χαίρε Λευτεριά!
Και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,
χαίρε ω χαίρε Λευτεριά!

This is my own version of the anthem (punctuation, capitalization), although the lyrics are the original.

• Any builtins printing or returning this text are forbidden, just in case.
• The printed text must be exactly as above, with an optional trailing newline.
• The output must be in UTF-8, unless it can't be supported at all, in which case the output must be encoded in the closest supported alternative.

Use the same repetition technique that mbomb007 used, but I replaced all characters higher than 47 (all greek letters), u913~u974 with u48~u109 ,and then undo this before printing

This outputs the anthem with a trailing newline. I converted the function from returning a String to a void so that it would print the String instead of returning it and save bytes.

Will golf further in the morning Golfers don't sleep :P

Explanation (outdated)

String Z(){
  // X contains the value of the Greek Anthem
  String X="",
  // a and b contain some repeated parts of the anthem
         a="AS Q[g_MTg O^j bU[ ",
         b="8OW aO[ ^_lbO O[R_SWgZK[U,\neOM_S g eOM_S 9ScbS_WJ!\n";
  // Then we loop over every char in this string
  for(char C: (a+"XjfU\nb]c a^OVW]k bU[ b_]ZS_L.\n"+a+"jfU\n^]c ZS PWJ ZSb_JSW bU QU.\n/^' bO XjXXOYO PQOYZK[U,\nbg[ 3YYL[g[ bO WS_J!\n"+b+b+b).toCharArray())
    // Adding 866 to the char if it is greater than `.` 46
    // (we also want to preserve the punctuation)
    X+=(char)(C>46?C+866:C);
  return X;
}

To get to this reduced String, I manually checked subtracting which numbers from the code points would be the best. These values would have to lie between and ~. In order to make the detection of whether a char is punctuation (., ', !, ) or not, it would be best if all the values lied above . (46). And there shouldn't be any \s in the String because otherwise Java thinks they are escape sequences, and so I have to escape them. Finally I came up with subtracting 866 from the Greek characters.

This takes the munged string as a char-array, feeds it one at a time through a loop |%{...} each iteration either outputting the character straight $_ or incrementing it by 870 before re-casting as a char (based on whether it's a punctuation or not). A few other tricks sets $a as a repeat phrase, and de-triplicates the last three stanzas. Those are all -joined together into a full string and then output is implicit.

Notes:

• Don't use Notepad to save this, it will add a BOM which will cause the script to fail.
• The chcp call fails if your Command Prompt is configured to use Raster Fonts. Change them to e.g. Lucida Console (does not require restart).
• The batch file seems to require a reasonably new version of Windows; Windows XP wasn't at all happy with chcp 65001.

Maybe it could be golfed more, but I'm tired.

It works by replacing characters like k with longer text. I also made some character substitutions, because the Greek characters have more bytes than characters like p. Simple enough.

As @Dennis points out, this needs to be run in a terminal in order for it to correctly produce UTF-8 output.

Answer 11

Bash + GNU iconv, 214

a="�� ������� ��� ��� "
l="
��� ��� ����� �����������,
����� � ����� ��������!"
iconv -f GREEK<<<"$a����
��� ������� ��� �������.
$a���
��� �� ��� ������� �� ��.
��' �� ������� ��������,
��� ������� �� ����!$l$l$l"

This just uses the iconv utility to convert from the GREEK encoding (byte per char) to utf-8, along with removing a bit of redundancy by storing repetitions in variables.

Don't try to copy directly from the above - lots of unprintables get munged when pasting. Instead, create the script as follows:

base64 -d << EOF > greek.sh

Woohoo, just under 200 bytes.

Explanation

The main idea is to avoid the actual Unicode characters for the most part, because they just blow up the byte count if they are used everwhere. Instead, I represent each Greek letter by an ASCII letter or digit. It turns out that the relevant letters from Α (that's an alpha) to ώ span exactly 62 code points. That's 10 + 26 + 26, the number of ASCII digits and letters. The other Unicode character we've got is ¶, which Retina uses to represent linefeeds. We can save a few more bytes by replacing that with _. Then the shorthand w in transliteration stages contains exactly the 63 characters we've used as substitutions, and we can represent the range this is mapped to using only 3 2-byte characters (¶ and the two ends of the Greek letter range).

Hence, the code is fairly illegible for the most part, since this substitution is done in the very last stage. Let's undo this to make a bit more sense of the code:

:του σπαθιού=ην=ρομερή.¶:που με βιά μετράει=η γη.¶Απ'=α κόκκαλα βγαλμένη,¶των Ελλήνων=α ιερά!###
:
Σε γνωρίζω από=ην κόψη¶
#
¶Και σαν πρώτα ανδρειωμένη,¶;ω ;Λευτεριά!
=
 τ
;
χαίρε 
2=`κ

That looks a bit more like the stuff we want to output. The very first stage simply sets up the overall framework. It contains all the unique parts of the output as well as some more placeholders for repeated parts:

• : stands for the first and third line. They end up being slightly different, because the κ is missing from the third line, which is why the very last stage removes the second κ in the result.
• # stands for the last two lines, which are repeated three times.
• ; stands for the repeated χαίρε in those lines.
• = stands for a word beginning with τ (and the space preceding it). There are just enough of those for this to save a single byte.
