James,
First of all, I'd say that using a database for a five page site is
overkill anyway. I'd find it easier to just code an English and Greek
version of each page and be done with it. Sure, that solution doesn't
scale up to 20, 50 or 100 pages very well, but it's quit and it gets the
job done.

Also, you don't need a database to store data, it just makes your life
easier. You can write PHP that reads ordinary files from your server's
hard drive and includes them in HTML templates.
